Franka Rolfix folding camera

Showing this baby off to the world. I picked this up at an antique shop for $20 while I was vacationing in Maine. Everything works as it should and all it needs is a bit of cleaning which I hope doesn’t remove the old, musty leathery smell that it currently has (I kinda like the smell, actually). More pictures of the body below.

I need to get some 120 film and shoot some random crap to make sure 100% that this is a working model.

    is it a 6×9 folder? I would recommend shooting color slides. There is nothing more gorgeous than a medium format slide, other than a large format slide, but thats another beast.

    Nice camera.

    I picked up one this weekend just like it and look forward to using it. In my other 6×9 folders I use B&W neg film and then just contact print the negs. The small 6×9 prints are great to give to friends and quick and easy to print….no enlarger required.

    Makes a great street camera as well, quiet, fits in a back pocket and will outlast us all.

    Thanks for posting yours,
    Rob
