Time capsule : a roll of film exposed inside a FED

This is a VAZ-21011, they made them since 1974. Olympic Mishka is a great find. I'd say early 1080's.

Hello jed.

I know what you mean about every used camera should have exposed film in. Think of the stories and possibly 'shocks' and ahem 'pleaseant surprises' they could contain. EVERYONE would of course wants Celebs' old cameras.

The last Zorki 4k I sold I had left a film in, but only a few pics were exposed, and being a telentless idiot, I'd be surprised if anyone wanted them.

I'm sorry I sold it. It was practically mint. I bought from a yank on ebay. I managed to get a set of new Hoya filters (Red, Green, Orange, Yellow and Sky 1b) for it. It seems the only filters I can find now are either resin and not coated or second hand.

It's certainly interesting looking at photos found in old cameras. I found some old ORWO film in a Beltica folding camera.

Not sure where it's from, German?

Welcome here, Nathan!
And thanks for this good find! Back to our youth...
The fair little girl is certainly around 40 years old now...

"Sehr geerhte Kundin" = Dear customers.
And the car is a Trabant from the ex-DDR. It had known better days...
So all that probably comes from Germany.

Amitiйs. Jacques.

The last shot looks like it relates to a German competition with three prizes - had a play about on Google Translate. The VW Golf would have been an improvement on the Trabant!

Cheers,

Steve

From mid to late 80ies in my opinion.

Best regards,

Yes, it looks like manualraffle ticket for Gereman lotto with 3 prizes.
Trabant suggest East Germany - DDR.
End of sending tickets - 30 Nov 1990.

Hello Nathan

It's Germany in 1990 (see the date of the advertisement!), probably east Germany (former Democratic German Republic, DGR, "DDR" in german). The Trabant from the eastern "VEB (Sachsenring) Automobilwerke Zwickau" has absolutly nothing to do with the Volkswagen (VW) Golf by the way. The advertisement with the competition looks like what "old" Germany has done to the former GDR people. I bet it was some kind of fraud ... :-(

Hope it will help you.

Best wishes - Guido

Ah, this is an adverisement. Thanks Guido.

yes, guido hit it. this kind of (fraudulent) ad was dispatched in eastern germany after the reunification (1989). it's still working with old people nowadays. it's on the brink of fraud. they release some millions of tickets and there are only 3 winning tickets which are really worth the participation. but all rest of the people responding are giving their addresses and some more valuable information away. and who knows if "by chance" the three winning tickets have not ben sent away...

and yes, this is eastern german people, probably owning a "datscha", a holiday and weekend hut, and a trabant after an accident...

Hello "Alfa2" (do your parents called you so? ;->)

Yes, it is some sort advertisement for a fashon boutique (the name is not known ... it began with "Modehaus" and ends with "...nke") with a competition. Because of the end of the competition at 30th of November 1990 the picture must be taken in 1990. But I can't say more about, sorry.

Best wishes - Guido

Hello "xya" (please ask your parents for a better name ...)

Thank you for your answer. I see you remember the times ... :-/ - It was a very bad time for this people and many western german "business men" (-> hustlers) had done a "great" job. And even the gouvernment (with the "Treuhandanstalt", short "Treuhand") has sold many companies for very low profits ... Don't remember me! It was a very, very bad time ... Even today they have problems because of this.

Best wishes - Guido

My nick comes from polish camera Alfa2, successor of Alfa camera. I have decided to add this "2" at the end to know it comes form the camera not from e.g. Alfa Romeo.

Wow Guido, you know about that ?
Of course I fully agree with you. But I thought it was not known on the West.

Thanks so much for all your responses! I didn't know there were ads like these. It must have convinced the person who owned the camera because they even took a photo of it!

I remembered I had some other photos found on old film. I got some exposed 120 film a while ago from a russian ebay seller. Most of them had nothing on them, but one had these:

I have no idea what camera was used to take them though. Probably a folder I would guess since the frames were running horizontally and not vertically as in a TLR.

Maybe a Kiev 6x4 then?

Best regards,
Juhani

There could be Pentacon Six, Praktisix, Kiex 60 or Kiev 6C. They were most popular.
Of course there could be some cheep plastic camera like e.g. polish Ami.

Oh yeah I forgot there were also 6x6 slrs too!
