Photography Site of the Day – Certo6 Vintage Folding Cameras
I’ve mentioned Jurgen Kreckel’s Certo6.com before when talking about one of my cameras. But today, I want to really focus in on this site.
First off, I need to mention that I have not bought any of his cameras or used his repair services. His work looks impressive. Any guy who is passionate about folders is OK with me.
Anyway, this is an excellent web site. My favorite aspect is that he provides commentary and shows pictures of the typical models that he has restored.
At the time I’m writing this he has pages devoted to:
Adox Sport/Golf
Agfa Isolette I/II/III
Agfa Super Isolette
Agfa Automatic 66
Agfa Record & Billy
Balda Super Baldax/Baldafix
Balda Super Pontura
Balda Hapo 66
Braun Gloria
Certo Six
Dacora Royal
Franka Solida/Rolfix
Russian Folders
Voigtländer Bessa I/II
Voigtländer Perkeo I/II/IIIe
Welta Weltur
Zeiss Ikontas
He repairs and sells those cameras and more.
This site is well worth a couple hours of study. I know I’m going to end up buying one of these.
