Anscoflex II
by bergytone
Got this camera at an antique mart for $18. Came with case, flash and bulbs. Very clean, looked like it was hardly used. Not the best lens, it's badly out of focus around the edges. The built in yellow filter doesn't do much. I measured the shutter at 1/40 of a second, so the shots were a bit over exposed, and you had to hold absolute still.
With an f stop of f/13 @1/40 sec, it's probably best to use a Pan F 50 asa film. You've got to hold your breath while you fire the lumpy shutter, and make sure you press all the way.
The ratcheting film winder is a pain in the butt, it takes about 50 strokes to load the film to picture 1.
Not sure how much more I'll use this one, I was expecting a little more from it.
