The camera case is in good condition, no scratches or dinks and stamped underneath is 'Made In Japan', the camera is also supplied with the original Petri lens cap.
The leatherette is in good condition, just a little wear on the back but nothing to noticeable. The original Petri leather ever ready case is in good order, just a little wear and the 'stud' at the back requires a little attention.
All in all, a great vintage camera considering its age and ideal for 'film' photography or to add to your collection of 35mm Rangefinder cameras.

Camera 35mm ILFORD Sportsman VARIO + case

SALE AT MY EBAY 2011

I am selling this vintage Ilford Sportsman camera on my website charliequins. It has a Dacora 1:2.8/45mm lens thats clean and has no scratches or fungi. The Vario shutter is in good working order, fires on all speeds, the shutter blades are very clean and responsive.

The film winder winds on smoothly and the viewfinder is very clean, almost as good as the day it was made in 'Western Germany'. The silver chrome finish has a very nice patina from general use, no nasty scratches or dinks and internally its very clean.
The leatherette is in very good order, even underneath although this could do with a little attention. It has lifted on the one end and requires re-glueing, a quick and easy job I would do myself but don't have any glue.
The leather case is in very good condition, the stitching is all good and the strap is good with just some wearing and thinning.
Ideal for a camera collector, 'film' photographer or as a long term investment.

The Ablon film cutter is in great condition especially for its age, I think this was manufactured in Germany around the 1950's.

Ideal for Leica camera's the Ablon film cutting guide would be a great edition to your vintage 'Leica camera' collectors or photographers.

FILM FOR LEICA CAMERA

The other day I bought myself a nice box of photography 'goodies', i was only after a couple of things out of the box and went a bit mad with the bidding.
Anyway, i have a load of things that are of no use to me so ebaying them to try and get some cash back.

So what did i find in the box?

Firstly some film for Leica's, one day i hope to won a leica camera and will probably regret selling off some of the film for it.
