I have a half plate single lens reflex camera with the same chequer board stained mahogany finish as the Key camera sold by The Platinotype Company in about 1890. Is there any record of such a camera?

Salex stand camera

pancaman — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 12:05:26 GMT

Having cleared the loft of an elderly lady, I have unearthed a Salex stand camera fitted with a 12" (app) f 2.5 Dallmeyer. It appears to have all movements but many of the brass parts are badly corroded. Is this a visit to the local tip, or are there collectors out there for such item?

Grandfathers Camera

MBryant — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 06:00:06 GMT

I have inherited several cameras from my grandfather who was a long time amateur photographer. I believe the camera i am about to describe was acquired while he served in Germany during the occupation.

Alpa Reflex in a brown leather case with straps, though the straps have broken off the case. All the knobs appear to work (though not always smooth) and the lens shade area is loosely on over three small tabs which might hold it on better if bent. There is a slight scratching of the black area around these tabs.

It looks exactly like the photo called Alpa Reflex (type 2) on http://www.alpareflex.com/Cameras/AlpaReflexOriginal.html with two notable differences. First, on the camera itself, the bottom has no metal plate at the bottom opposite the tripod mount and no evidence there was ever one there. Second, the lens is different. My camera lens is also P. ANGENIEUX PARIS (but then continues) F.50 1 2.9 ALPAR No 48 639. There is also a flap in the top of the camera case which has a short (3")cable which can be pushed about 1/2 inch to extend a wire.

I also have an Alpa box (5" x 3" x 2 1/4") containing a hollow black tube 4" long and just under 2" in diameter which looks like it could extend the lens.

If it was a coin, I would describe the condition as very fine to extra fine but I'm a novice at cameras.

Thanks for any help you can give me.
