Pontiac camera

Very rare Pontiac Lynx II Camera. Made in Paris, France, from 1945 to 1952. All aluminum body. The camera needs some oiling and cleaning, as seen on the photos, but everything works fine. The blades are very reactive, and the shutter works well. The curtain is in perfect conditions. The lens, as well as the viewfinder, are in perfect conditions, no scratches, no fungus.  It comes with its original leather case, that is damaged but can be repaired. Please refer to photos.

Pontiac Lynx II Retardateur - Angenieux 50mm 1:2.9 - Film Tested OK. État : Occasion le boitier Les vitesses semblent justes Pas de fuite lumière. Boitier et rideaux en bon état. L’avancement fonctionne bien. Le viseur est clair Le retardateur fonctionne bien Pontiac c'est simple et robuste, pas de surprises de ce coté la.   L’objectif : Objectif Angenieux type Z5 50mm 1:2.9 Pas de champignons et  pas de décollement dans les lentilles Bagues de diaph souple. Bague de mise au point souple aussi. L'ensemble: Ensemble d'origine. Si vous êtes adepte du zone focus c’est l’appareil parfait pour vous. Réglez votre hyperfocale et votre vitesse et vous voila paré a shooter. L'Angenieux est bon même a pleine ouverture. Il est plus rapide que le Som Berthiot  et tout aussi efficace. Tout est sur les photos.   Les pellicules: Il utilise des pellicules au format 127. On trouve des pellicules 127 en cherchant un peu. (site bien connu en Allemagne ou tout simplement) On peut aussi recouper de la pellicule 120 en 127. Avec un peu de soin on peut faire parfois jusqu’à 20 clichés. En vrai ça donne quoi? J'ai mis en exemple des photos réalisées sur de la kodak verichrome expirée depuis 1974 et shootées cet été. (oui 1974...) Comme quoi même avec de la vieille pellicule cet appareil a encore la capacité de donner de clichés de qualité. In English Body Speeds seems OK (Bulb (noted P), 1/25, 1/50, 1/75, 1/100, 1/200, 1/500) No Light leaks. Curtains in good shape the Advance knob is working fine the viewfinder is clear the timer works well Pontiac camera are simple and reliable LENS :  Angenieux type Z5 50mm 1:2.9 lens No fungus and no separation Smooth aperture ring Smooth focusing ring The camera: If you like to zone focus, this camera is made for you. Set up your hyperfocal & speed and start to shoot. The Angenieux lens is good even wide open. It is faster than the Som Berthiot and as good as it. Films: It uses 127 film. You can find 127 film if you take the time to search. You can still use expired film if you want or cut down 120 to 127 size.There are many tutorials on the internet. In real life, how is it? I put some example shot taken this summer on a 1974 expired kodak Verichrome. (yes 1974...) So you can see that even with expired film you can still shoo decent photos

Pontiac Lynx II camera Modified LTM with FOCA 35mm lens. BODY: Pontiac LYNX II For 127 film Curtains are NEW It is modified for leica thread mount Lens. Any LTM lens can be screwed on the camera. No light leaks Film advance OK All speeds OK Clean body LENS: 35mm f 3.5 FOCA OPLAR Aperture OK, no oil on blades (old aperture scale) Smooth focusing Unfortunately a there is a bit of fungus It is a 36mm thread lens, not compatible with LTM this is why a created an adapted ADAPTER: 3D printed FOCA Thread Mount to Leica Thread Mount Some notes: This foca lens with the adapter can be use on Leica I line of camera. (Standard, C, F...) It cannot be used with with Leica M, Leica II of Leica III. This is due to the lens back barel wich is on the way of the ragefinder cam. I have tested some lens on the 3x4 format of this camera: As most of the LTM lens are designed to cover 24x36 negatives and not bigger 3x4 you may wonder what will work and what will not work. Here are my results with the lens I have been able to test: - Jupiter 8 50mm f2 (full coverage, no vignetting) - Jupiter 12 35mm f2.8 (Partial coverage, corner vignetting) - Voitglander color skopar 35mm f2.5 (full coverage, no vignetting) - Foca Oplar 35mm f2.5 (full coverage, no vignetting) the lens that comes with this camera - Industar 69 28mm f2.8 (Only center coverage, very heavy vignetting) Well despite the fact that it is not 100% original, it has some specification to make it shine. It is a LTM mount camera, so more flexible to use with other LTM lenses It comes with a FOCA 35mm lens, wich is not common It come with a FOCA adapter, is you have other foca threaded lenses, it is a chance to also use this range of lenses It is light and compact, no lens to extend. 127 film format is NOT extinct. There are film available out there. (Rollei crossbird, HP5, etc) I have cut a Rollei RPX 400 and made some shots. See the photos made with this camera and this film.
