Posted - Jul 09 2008 : 4:47:18 PM I've received this very weird camera today in mail, from looks of it it's made out of enlarger bellows but I am confused on the fusion of the shutter assembly A Solyanka for sure . What would you name this camera? hehehe...

Posted - Jul 12 2008 : 11:26:52 AM Luiz, what you're showing me here is about 4 times smaller than my camera.. Yes it looks similar but it is MUCH bigger, the bellows on my camera are size of Rakurs 672 bellows if not larger. So MUCH bigger. I believe it is enlarger bellows not the macro bellows. I will post exact dimensions later.

Posted - Jul 10 2008 : 1:05:47 PM Luiz,
the bellows is quite large to be the macro bellows for Zenit (PZF I think, no? PDF is the periscope I thought). Aren't those much smaller though, about 5x5cm bellows? This unit is quite large - maybe 12x12cm bellows... I can measure it exactly if you're interested. Also you think this is only a front plate from Zeiss Ikon and not some kind of mechanical hybrid? I can take off the shutter take it up and compare at some point too... very weird camera, that's why I got it... .. The frankensteins like this is my passion .

Posted - Jul 09 2008 : 8:43:47 PM This camera is made from an old PDF Belomo bellows for Zenit cameras. It had its original bellows changed . An original Moment shutter now a 23 model with a 24S dial a Zeiss Ikon front plate and unknown lens everyting coupled to a Plaubel Rada roll film adapter. Which camera is that? I don't know!!!! LP
A Solyanka for sure
