The viewfinder of the Kodak Duaflex III as viewed looking down at my belly. You can see the reflection of me in the penguin ice bucket. I'm leaning back, holding the other camera up by my face.
My new bag from Corrie - Melody Miller's Viewfinder Reels fabric combined with the Go Anywhere Bag pattern from Anna at Noodlehead.

A very unique viewfinder for voigtlander 50mm cameras. I have yet to try this on other 50mm cameras to see if it works.
The simpler cousin of the more interesting Disc-7. Missing functions include the self portrait mirror, self timer, and the extension handle. Other specifications are the same.
35mm viewfinder camera with built-in selenium exposure meter, c.1966, made by Haking in Hong Kong.
The meter display is on the top-plate, reading in Exposure-Values. This shows the EV-number calculator, quite elegantly built on to the shutter speed and aperture rings - the red number showing "13" here. Turning the speed ring moves the sleeve; changing the aperture moves the number under the sleeve. In use, you read the EV number from the meter dial, then set that number in the EV window by moving the shutter or aperture rings. Film speed is set on a scale inscribed on the shutter ring, by shufting the sleeve relative to the speed ring.
Removing Top Cover
The Viewfinder Window Surround should be loose. When putting the cover back on, it's best to settle the surround in place before the cover is fully down.
Notice the shutter curtains are stuck in the middle. This is not normal, and the main reason I opened up the camera.

Made using the pattern Campfire Messenger Bag by Noodlehead. This is the March pattern for the Bag of the Month Club 2015. Open Flap View.

Initial testing with an LR44 1.5v battery
One of the more sophisticated 110 cameras. It can switch between two lenses. The standard lens is located behind the shutter; and the telephoto lens is located in front of the shutter. Focus can be adjusted manually from 1 meter to infinity.
At the end of Evergreen Walk is a set of benches and viewfinders. Look through them and try to find the surrounding lighthouses or watch the barges and boats come into the Kenosha marina.
the viewfinder of the Zenit 12xp has some problem, it's very hard to focus, therefore I put a fisheye lens on it to go around the problem
Single speed shutter. Exposure is set by changing the aperture size. There is no f-number labels. Instead, the settings are labeled with EV numbers, ranging from EV9.5 to EV15. Based on the fact that EV9.5 corresponds to the largest aperture opening (f/3.9), the shutter speed should be around 1/50s, and the aperture settings are f/3.9-f/27. Update: according to this 1958 ads, the shutter speed is 1/45s.
The shutter is cocked by the turning of the sprocket wheel, which is driven by the film. However, the sprocket wheel itself can keep turning, and only at a specific position the shutter is in cocked status. To ensure the shutter is cocked, the sprocket wheel and the film wind knob need to the turned at the same time and the film wind knob will stop when the shutter is cocked. This is not an issue when film is installed. It only matters when one wants to test the shutter function without film. The "reset" lever can be used for re-cocking the shutter without advancing the film. It won't work if the sprocket wheel isn't at the correct position. Pushing the "rewind" lever once can release the winding lock without firing the shutter.
The 44mm f/3.9 Anastar lens is supposed to be a Tessar type with 4 elements in 3 groups. However, so far I have not been able to identify the cemented surface of the rear group. The same method has been successfully used on many other lenses. Is it possible that Kodak actually labeled a triplet as Anastar? This does make sense since the Pony II is a lower end model. Update: according to this thread, Kodak reference manual / data book says that the lens is indeed a triplet.
Smena-8M is a viewfinder 35mm film camera made by LOMO (Leningrad Optical-Mechanical Union = Ленинградское Oптико-Mеханическое Oбъединение, ЛОМО), in Leningrad , former USSR, and produced between 1970-95. Смена = Smena means Young Generation or Relay. Doubtless that it was the most popular Smena camera. You still can find it everywhere in post Soviet area.
There are 5 types and 9 subtypes of the Smena-8M.
The list of all Smena models is in the article Smena Series by GOMZ & MMZ & LOMO.

as a kid, i would stare through this thing for hours spinning the ring back and forth and back and forth.
no amount of explanation would ever convince me that it worked by anything other than magic.
