I bought pre-war Contax III + 50mm f1.5 SONNAR in 1957 in BERLIN when i was in the British Army for equivalent of £38 -- a fortune on British Army Pay so i had to pay it off Monthly. It suffered from 'flare' as it was un-coated but I got some good photos on early Agfacolor CT18 film-- I can show you some samples- taken with Braun Hobby Automatic I got for £14 in Canadian Maple Leaf Store in Iserlohn back in the British Zone. British Military Hospital ISERLOHN.

YES --- few 'Colour Films' available in UK but better and cheaper in Germany -- I also used Agfa Color PRINT film 120 size in my British Ensign Selfix 16/20 Model II and got friendly with Camera Dealers Klein Happe in Iserlohn High Street and was invited 'Back-Stage' into their darkroom to see Colour Printing -- they used a huge Agfa enlarger I remember. I still HAVE a couple of colour prints done by them in an album ! In UK we could afford only 'Ferraniacolor' slide film -- nobody did 'Prints' unless you were 'Professional' and had Dye Transfer Prints done for Clients at a Huge Cost. _________________ Long Live REAL PHOTOGRAPHY ! |

I went BACK to BMH Iserlohn on 1987 -- it was 'Closed for Refurbishment -- NO PHOTOGRAPHY ALLOWED' -- now it has been handed back to the Germans. -- I found snaps of the Hospital taken 1957 to jog you memory ---
