1600f 1952

new on my table: 1600F with Ektar 2.8/80 and Ektar 3.5/135. Lenses somehow dusty, body works and seems well. Back is 1970 and even loaded with film. CLA of course is indispensable, so enough time to think, what I want to add.

With kind regards,
Walter

You set a nice table.

Use your 1600f kit well. Post some pictures. I for one would love to see the results from the Kodak Ektar lenses.

Happy shooting.
 
Hallo LunaYaris,

thanks for happy shooting. Before shooting the 1600F equipment should get a CLA, mostly the lenses. In the meantime I got a Zeiss 2.8/80 from 1950, well fitting early lens too. Who is recommended for a 1600F CLA in Europe?

From tomorrow evening I am for nine weeks in the UK with my SWC (1978), but afterwards I start playing again with the 1600F.

All the best,
Walter

Walter,
That is a very nice kit you have there. Unfortunately, I only knew of two individuals who provided service on these fine cameras, both have long since retired. The greatest challenge is finding parts should you need them.
My father worked on the production line with the 1600F and later moved to the 1000F line when this camera was introduced.
