Since this is the forum area assigned to 'Cameras', I thought I'd post a picture of a rather nice camera to which I seem to have fallen heir.

With known history dating back to WWII it was last used circa 50 years ago, but appears to be in full working order.  The bellows look frighteningly fragile but appear intact, the winder moves freely, the lens rotates to focus, the iris opens & closes, the  shutter and even the self-timer all appear to work. 

I fully intend to load it with some B&W 120, and see what is the result.  If you're (un)lucky, I may then post some pics. 

I have also found some pictures of myself looking a little younger, and taken with said camera about the last time it was used.  These will most certainly not be posted.

I certainly remember those cameras, although I wasn't lucky enough to own one. I'll be interested to see the results, including the pictures of 7LM when a trifle younger.

I always assumed the forum had a 'public decency' policy?

Some while back, I published a picture of me, aged about 5 and wearing pinstriped short trousers.

I have a similar one plus a larger 'glass plate' camera that my brother (who was a photographer at the time ) used to take pictures of the queen a long time ago at an official visit to Derby.
