reactivating our old family camera

[wolfhansen]

Found in the cabinet of my mother, our old family camera: the Balda Baldinette for
35mm film. my father bought the Balda in the early 50s from Photo Koch in Düsseldorf, price was
around 120 Deutsche Mark.
the camera is fine and well with the Baltar 2.9/50mm lens.



from the old photo albums of my mother here a pic taken with the cam



surely you ask who´s the wonderful vigorous little boy - it´s me....

i think i give the camera a try and take it outside with some rolls of film.

Oh yes, it has to be done. Please share the pictures with us.
