All night the river’s twists
Bit each other’s tails, in happy play...
Dawn
Puzzles a sunk branch under deep tremblings...
Who shall say
That the river
Crawled out of the river, and whistled,
And was answered by another river?
A strange tree
Is the water of life-
...
From Visitation, Ted Hughes

Made by Dacora-Kamerawerk in (West) Germany from 1954 to about 1959, this is a very basic medium format viewfinder camera, using 120 film. The Dacora Digna features a f/8 80 mm "Achromat" lens, two aperture settings of f/8 and f/11, two shutter speeds: "Instant" at 1/50 second and Bulb, and zone focusing. (The distance listed in feet, meaning that this camera was most likely sold in the US.*****) That's pretty much it for features besides a cold accessory shoe on its top plate. (There is a flash sync port underneath the lens, and it actually does work!)
I recently returned from a month in Germany and a few days in France. In addition to all the pixel shots, I took 19 rolls of 120 BW film (some Diana but mostly 6x9 pinhole). That pile of negs will keep me busy through the winter and probably into the spring, especially since I have about 11 rolls taken in the past 6 months that I have yet to get to.
I ebayed this medium format camera last week, haven't shot any film yet but look forward to messing around with it. I started digital, but have always had a fascination with trying film. It's a Zenza Bronica ETRS, and was just over 100 on ebay. The star shape is the shutter as it's being cranked open.
