Standard Makiflex No.3 Bundle New to Me by Nokton48, on Flickr

I saw this bundle on German Ebay and made an offer, it was accepted. The Stovepipe is quite unusual, I've never seen this one before. The 13.5cm early Zeiss Tessar on Peco Junior recessed board will get some use too. The Standard Makiflex is quite useful to me, big lenses fit into the cameras inner throat. So now I have three Standard Makiflexes, and three of the Auto Aperture Makiflexes. This one will get some use I'm sure of it. This one has 28.880 actuations according to the counter on the side, so lots of life left in it. LOL

APSC Sony Nex C3 JB Welded to Peco Rear Standard Plate by Nokton48, on Flickr

I bought this Nex C3 16mp Body for Fifty Bucks at World of Photography. Then I JB Welded it to a flat scrap black metal Plaubel Plate from my junk box. Then JB Welded the flat plate/APSC Back to a flat revesible Peco Junior Rear Plate. VOILA! "Poor Man's Medium Format Digital Back". Great for testing and trying different OLDE lenses. This one is historically interesting, it was on the cover of the Peco Junior literature I have. It's the Plaubel 150mm F4.2 Orthometar, it takes the stock Plaubel Makina Hood on the front. So fully tricked out for digital fun. I finished this with a rubber magnifying Nex 3 hood $10 from Ebay.

100mm F3.9 Supracomar Plaubel Peco Junior Sawed Off Baggie 16mp by Nokton48, on Flickr


Digital 16mp Sony Nex C3 JB Welded to flat Rear Standard Plauble Peco Junior Board. Handheld image with the Peco Junior 100mm F3.9 Supracomar, a collectable more normally found on a 9x12cm Avus Folder. Soft outdoor lighting fun to shoot
handheld Mini-Me View Camera. Around 50 Supracomars were produced I've heard, a few went onto Plaubel Makinas. Just before the era of the 100mm F2.9 Anticomar came into production, I believe I've read. Glad I grabbed it, it came from the Ukraine.

SONY DSC by Nokton48, on Flickr

Standard Plaubel Makiflex Number Three arrived yesterday in a bundle from a shoppe in Prague. Good conditioned body fully functional, comes with 135 Tessar on Plaubel Recessed Board. Also a 240mm Tele-Xenar in Compur shutter, I transplanted this Tele-Xenar onto a 3D printed Peco Junior board printed in Italy. Shown on my Long Rail Peco Junior, camera focused carefully at infinity, plenty of rail available for closer in shooting. Need to put yellow medium filters and lens hoods on these new lenses, and try 'em out. 135 is perfectly collimated to focus just a teeny past infinity, so perfectly constructed IMO. Quite a bit of maching skill shown here, many of my Makiflexes from Prague have been tweeked and modded. Very clever technicians. The Stovepipe might be legit Olde Makiflex, I remember seeing one other, so maybe? Maybe in some literature too? Both of these cameras take Plaubel Makina Film Backs and Planfilm Holders.

Plaubel Automatic Iris Makiflex 135mm f5.6 Symmar Front by Nokton48, on Flickr

The Plaubel Makiflex Automatic Iris 135mm F5.6 Symmar is as WIDE as you can go on a Maki Body. It's kinda wide on 9x9CM. This one needs a good interior CLA, the auto iris is kinda slightly sticky so needs a bit of work. It looks like it was never used, not a mark on it. Here it's focused at infinity, it focuses a bit past it so I am very good with that. This would be good for reportage photography as well as fashion, both areas Plaubel Makiflex excels in a studio or location. Shown with the Mamiya RB67 Stovepipe which is still my favorite for studio focusing

Plaubel Automatic Iris Makiflex 135mm f5.6 Symmar Rear by Nokton48, on Flickr

Here's the back side of the Plaubel Automatic Iris Makifles 135mm f5.6 Symmar, so that you can see the automatic mechanism. Notice how deeply recessed the mount is. I'm not sure I could ever make something like this myself. So I'm glad I grabbed it when I did. I will also redo the lighting trapping on the back side.

I only had a Leicaflex R3 for a short time, from 1983 (bought 2nd hand) until it was stolen in Greece in 1986. But here's a scanned colour slide from a winter vacation in 1984.
