[QUOTE="lorenbrothers, post: 529623, member: 41042"] The movements are rather gummy ... but not unexpected after sitting in a box for 60 years. The Soligor is immaculate with out a single scratch on it. [url=http://rick_oleson.tripod.com/index-36.html]Hasselblad in Cheap's Clothing[/url] The Kodak is German-made but unfortunately not one of the pre-WWII issue of 4,000 units. It has seen some wear, but not too bad. From what I can tell it is a type 016 released in 1951 but the manual has an update to a '53 date. As you can see from the original price tag the selling price was $149.50 back then ... definitely not pocket change! The reel of 20 exposure 35mm Kodak Tri-x 400 ASA film actually in the camera had a "develop by" date of JUN61. The light meter is pristine. And the 'gas mask' box is beyond cool! [/QUOTE]
