photographic equipment

[Snapper]

I'm sorry to say, it's largely junk. See notes in caps:

Right then chaps

Jenaflex am-1 camera with a carl zeiss jena DDR 50mm f1.8 lens made in GDR serial no 7112755 carl zeiss jena sticker on the camera body , the camera is a bit grubby but appears to work CAMERA IS PRETTY MUCH WORTHLESS BUT THE LENS COULD BE USEFUL TO SOMEONE ON HERE..

KOROLL 24 camera with a plate on the back saying BENCINI made in italy milano , this has got a wierd little lens on it that i think is fixed to the camera KOROLL 1/50 SEC F:11 there is a type of flash gun with this that says PRINZESS-BC made in germany , also 3 little boxes all from boots 1 x lens hood for comet and koroll cameras and 2 x filter holders one which is marked up 2/6 AGAIN PRETTY MUCH WORTHLESS BUT MAY APPEAL TO STUDENT TYPES THAT WANT TO DABBLE IN 'LOMO' PHOTOGRAOPHY.

Sigma zoom 35-135mm made in japan lens in a leather tube GIVEN THE AGE OF THE OTHER SUFF I'D HAZARD A GUESS THAT IT IS MANUAL FOCUS AND AROUND F3.5-4, MAY GET FEW QUID ON EBAY IF YOU KNOW WHAT MAKE OF CAMER IT WILL FIT.

KODAK COMPUR carl zeiss lens serial no 2985846 f:3.5 f=7cm this is stuck in a bit of hardboard SOUNDS LIKE A LENS REOMVED FROM AN OLD FOLDING 6X6 CAMER, POSSIBLY TO MAKE AN ENLARGER LENS = WORTHLESS

some kind of prism type thingy made by PATERSON. SOUNDS LIKE A DEVICE USED TO CHECK IMAGES FROM AN ENLARGER ARE IN FOCUS.

a BDB slide copier MK 11 DON'T KNOW THAT MODEL BUT COULD GUESS, MAY BE WOTH GETTING ON EBAY BUT DON'T EXPECT MUCH.

There is a thing that looks like a cross between a pillar drill and one of them hairdryers that women sit under in the hairdressers marked up GNOME british made UNIVERSAL ALPHA 11 THAT IS A CHEAP AND CHEERFUL ENLARGER, WITH THE EMPHASIS ON CHEAP.

TEKTRONIX C-5C OSCILLOSCOPE CAMERA serial no b013049 DON'T KNOW THIS ONE BUT SOUNDS LIKE AN OUTDATED PIECE OF TECHNICAL EQUIPMENT = PROBABLY NEARLY WOTHLESS

Loads of filters , adaptors chemical tanks , and a box of SCHNEIDER KREUZNACH 3" square slides/plates with pictures of fossils on them DEPENDING ON WHAT TYPE, THE FILTERS MAY BE GOOD TO SELL AS A JOB LOT BUT DEVELOPING TANKS ARE 2 A PENNY. THE SLIDES/PLATES MAY BE OF INTEREST TO SOMEONE DEPENDING ON THE AGE AND QUALITY - WORTH PUTTING ON EBAY TO SEE.

AFAIK:
the Jenaflex is a version of the Practika type of 35mm slr and may well have the M42 lens fitment
The Koroll24 is an interesting camera which I think uses 120 roll film but actually produces a smaller image than the standard 6x6cm of that format.
What fitting is the Sigma lens? The brand is one of the better aftermarket lens suppliers and I have a couple for my Nikon and they perform very well for much less than the Nikon equivalents.
The Kodak lens is an enlarger lens and will probably fit the thing that looks like a pillar drill! Gnome was a popular cheap enlarger, I can't remember much about them but it may have holders for different negative sizes and it would be normal to fit different lenses to get the appropriate image size on the paper which would have been placed on the baseplate.
What the prism is for I don't know, may be part of something you could try placing it on an image and see if it gives an enlarged view or it might be used with the enlarger.
The slide copier is obvious but not much in demand these days!
The oscilloscope camera is an odd one, not much use in itself but might interest a collector.
The odd parts are the sort of thing I'd keep in a box just in case although developing tanks and similar film processing kit is of little or no use now.
The Korrol and Tektronix are probably worth trying to sell individually on ebay as they might be of interest to collectors (might!).
The Sigma lens equally would probably sell but you would need to know what fitting it is, they don't fetch a fortune. You could bundle all the film processing stuff and put it on ebay or see if your local school/college has any demand for it as a lot of them do photography courses and one of the elements is film photography or of course ebay or Gumtree locally and you could include the Jenaflex to make a complete outfit.
I don't think you're going to get rich out of this but there will be people who are glad of it.

Thanks very much for the information about the bits , the sigma lens is not m42 its a sort of bayonet push and twist fitting the same as the jenaflex , there are a couple of interesting bits there i will keep but i think i will take some pictures of the rest and try to sell it on e bay as a job lot

The later cameras did go to a bayonet fixing, it's a better idea than the screw type but not quite as easy to build into nv kit.
You're likely to do better selling in several lots. The wet film stuff (35mm camera, developing and enlarging) could well go to a student as there is a steady demand for it and the filters etc could go as a job lot. Good luck with it.

Yes, and sell the slides as a separate lot too, as they sound like that may be 3 1/4" square lantern slides?
