admit frankly that, for the photographic equipment produced by our Czech neighbors always refer rather skeptical. The fact that I think all enlargers Meopty (Magnitaurus 13x18, 6 or Mafnifaxy Opemus 3 and 4) were not bad ... Exactly ... not bad ... but good or not. Like everything in order, but always have a dial worked too hard or something zacinało. I felt a real difference in switching to a Durst enlargers and it stuck.

Therefore, I never bother Czech cameras, although eg Flexarety come by very often. As you may have noticed, I like the dual-headed SLR (nota bene: I have them far too much). All, however, are either German (Rolleiflexy, Voigtlandery, Ikoflexy) or Japanese (Mamiya, Yashica Mat). Today, however, could not resist and bought his first ever 'Czech' - Flexareta VII) have not changed suddenly on the equipment Meopty sentences, and I was enchanted by a very large set, which the seller gave me for only 100 PLN! I received the camera, the original box, leather case, a light meter, original lens hood, adapter for 35mm film and even the original dating 24x36mm mounted on a sledge flash (apparently very rare).

camera itself looks extremely solid. Flexaret VII of the models is the highest Czech TLRów. The camera is heavy and feels good in your hands. The shutter has a range of time from 1 sec. to 1/500sek. Learned it was the export version Flexareta VII. As a curiosity it is worth mentioning that the production of this model was reportedly a big flop investment, because the Czechs miscalculated the costs and production capacity snapshots and ultimately what every camera produced still have to make a large sum of crown-of-pocket:)

Oh well ... Camera goes to the site in order to preserve and review mechanisms. I think that soon I am tempted about to score one or two movies in my new monument:)
