  • Back in the 1930's film cameras like Leica and Contax were complicated and expensive. Purma looked to change things up with the 'Purma Special'. A film camera that used gravity to change the shutter speeds.

  • @Folly_Inds
    @Folly_Inds ปีที่แล้ว +14

    honestly, that second shot of the forest pillbox was remarkably in focus. when you get the range right its not too shabby. its definitely focused a smidge closer than infinity tho.
    I'm wondering if those groves in the front element let you adjust the lens closer or farther away or something

    Contax Cameras in the days when they were release in the 1930's through the 1950's DID NOT HAVE CLOTH SHUTTERS. They had Roll up/down Metal Shutters..

  • @theothertonydutch
    @theothertonydutch ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I think this is perfect for those 1945 "war is over but it is the end of the world because we invented the atomic bomb" kinda party pictures.
    Also, plenty of people do abstract photography and I think cameras like these are just perfect for that.

    TH-cam had been pestering me to watch this for a while and I'm glad I finally did. As soon as it started playing it was a surprise to see you! I knew you were into photography via few references in Car Throttle videos over the years. I hope there's more to come, particularly of shit old cameras as I'm quite prone to them myself.
    P.S. Please consider uploading your photos to Flickr too as Instagram only allows people without an account to scroll so far. Plus Flickr doesn't make any claim on your intellectual property :)

    Sorry for coming in late. As far as researchers have discovered, there had been three Purma models. The first was the Purma Sport with folding frame finder; it's not certain if it went into series production. Then came the Purma Special as featured. Finally came the Purma Plus with a metal body, which had a bit of a habit of tarnishing.

    When I read the title of this video, given your sense of humour, I expected it was a video about you clumsily dropping film cameras during your photowalks. I'm glad I was wrong. This was informative and entertaining! Cheers! //Rick

    @MultiMattRogers ปีที่แล้ว

    I was given one of these a while ago with a bunch of folding cameras. I couldn't find a single bit of info and could not work out what it was all about.
    So thanks, I now know what the mutant camera is.

    When I was in High School, I was sold an old camera that had all kinds of lens adjustments and stuff, but I can't remember the name. So I took a photo class to try my hand at photography but my pictures never seemed to please the teacher, so I just put in the six weeks and passed...
    Now I take pictures with my phone and do quite well taking landscapes when the bug hits!
    I would have loved getting into working up a photo lab, but I went into electronics instead, and I have a complete electronics lab at home.

    I bought one for next to nothing in a secondhand shop, only because I was fascinated by the design, but it will be a shelf job. The shutter doesn't properly close in one direction anyway! But an intriguing artifact!

    "Not often you come directly underpowerlines like this".
    Mate, it's time to visit the Netherlands (again).
    This is quickly turning into one of the best vintage camera review channels out there. More uploads is more better, they are a Joy (...) to watch. And it's got some unique character both in the edit and the edgy humour. You got a winner on your hands.
    As for the camera, well... It's a work of genious in every single way, but it still produces images worse than a cheap box camera. So it's shit, but I want it. Also FCK 127!
