Posted - Jan 16 2012 : 4:21:35 PM Hello All
Just introducing myself - I actually joined this forum a while ago but have yet to contribute anything - about time I rectified that. I´m not sure quite how to use this forum so if this turns out a mess please accept my apologies.
My name is Chris Sabine and I am a retired English ex-pat living in Spain. I have been collecting cameras sporadically for about 20 years, mostly SLRs from prewar and early postwar Germany up to about 1960 - mainly Ihagee, KW and Wirgin.
I got bitten by the Fed bug a few years ago while expanding my collection of early Zenits, and then ..... well a few Kievs and some Zorkis - and so it goes on!
Excellent forum this - packed with huge quantities of highly useful detail. I hope I may correspond with some of you in the future.
Enough for now, best regards to all and a fruitful 2012!

Posted - Feb 02 2012 : 3:58:01 PM Hello Alexander, Thanks for your your kind remarks. My German cameras are all packed away at the moment except for one I came accross the other day - a first production run Edixa Reflex (one of the first 250 un-numbered ones). I may yet call on your help from Germany, as you so kindly offered. ATB Chris. |

Posted - Feb 02 2012 : 05:02:14 AM Hello Chris, you are welcome here! "Russian cameras" is a great theme for collecting, but if you want to get any information about your German cameras as well (directly from Germany , let me know.
Regards, Alexander |

Good to hear from you. I live a few km from a small village about 100 km north of Almeria. The nearest town of any size is Huercal Overa, about 25 km away. I´ve had a quick look at your website - impressive! Afraid I was strictly 35 mm and now digital.

I am pretty new here, too. Would you care to say in which part of Spain you are located? I am in the Malaga area. Trevor |
