I can buy an old ('50s) dacora digna 120. It has F/8 and 11 only. Lens: achromatic 8/80. it's a glass lens and perhaps a triplet (in the better case), or a meniscus ). Not meter.

Very simple cam and u$s 11.

Anybody has any experience with an economic 120 cam like this dacora ?

Thanks

Rino.

Oh....Excuse me, I forgot that an achromatic is a triplet.

Poor built cheap cameras. Some of them, with more high grade lenses, like ISCO Westar, have a telescopic front with the lens protruding to the front, spring-loaded. Most here (and I'm afraid, me too) would even bother to pick one up, when finding one in the street....Twisted Evil Twisted Evil

Still have two of them in the cellar....
Postage is to high, otherwise you could have them both for $10...

What pity !!!! I want to begin to use those great RF in 120 film. Simpler, easy to play and nothing to lost.

Well. I will continue looking for.

Dare I say it? But my Dacora Dignas always end up in the landfill... Just like the Agfa Clacks. I'm spoiled for ever Embarassed

I had an Agfa Clack for a second, if it was heavier, I would have kept it for
a doorstop. Laughing

Agfa Clack can be used to make a pinhole camera! Ofcourse one is enough.

IMHO an Agfa Isola is a better and cheapest alternative..!
