LOL...Excuse me??!! "Back in the day"??!! I remember Wall St very well.
I looked up this mag in Google Books. A lot of good memories in those pages
Hey joe, I like your ad's as well. I had one of those VXIIa's Beautiful Cameras. Machining and finish was top knotch
View attachment 95255 My FIRST SLR was a Zeiss Ikon Contaflex Super, with 45mm f/2.8 Pantar lens. I bought it from Wall St. camera's used department! It had a non-instant return mirror, and interlocking shutter speed and f/stops coupled to an external, selenium-cell, match-needle metering system. It had an interlens (aka leaf) shutter that went up to 1/500 second. Here's an old photo of it made maybe a decade ago. I was in 7th grade when I bought this thing with money I had earned splitting oak firewood for an elderly lady named Mrs. Middleton. She gave me 50 cents per paper sack full of split wood, and she wanted it split into small, kitchen trash-burner type stove thickness pieces...wow...what a PITA that was. The princely sum of $59.95 was just about THE cheapest used SLR I could mail-order from Popular Photography magazine.
