Ihagee_Retro_test_May2021

Finally testing my Xmas present... a mid-Thirties Ihagee Ultrix! (I patched the bellows and wiped away 90 years' worth of grit... but apparently forgot to dust the insides properly.)

Welcome to the circle of collectors of cameras made in Dresden ;-) I don't have an Ultrix. But a good 200 other cameras that were produced in Dresden. My oldest cameras are from 1904. They still work really well!
Great photo!

@andre30 Thank you! That's a club I'm proud to be a member of... Many of my favourite cameras are from Dresden: I have a Welta for all occasions, a handsome pair of Altix IVs, a couple of Certos, and a smashing Exakta Varex VX I rescued from a junk bin. And yes, they all work really well (or had just some minor issues even I could fix). Great designs, exceptional quality!
