    This is my mother's first camera she gave it to me. Not as fancy as yours but it's special to me.

    I wish I had her Contina II

    It is a fancier version of what I have and a newer model and I would be just as stoked owning that one, looks in pristine condition and the fact your mother owned it I can see the attachment to it. You ever use it? I just like vintage cameras, just think they are fun to shoot with and give you another perspective as a photographer. Yours you can add a flash on at least if you decide. I just find using vintage cameras a challenge, you really need to be old school to use one since you do not see what the camera sees and you only get the results when you develop them. I expect to burn through a few rolls of film before I get the hang of it again.

    I used it 20 years ago and it was fun. It was during my experimental days of using pinhole cameras, large format, even played with dye transfer. I had a special fondness for gum bichromate prints from large format negs. I still love the old cameras and have thought of building a glass plate camera. Then I also love the modern equipment that allows me to make panoramic without having to find a whole circuit camera.
