I still have two of his cameras - a Foth Derby for 127 film, and a Voigtlander Bergheil 6x9 camera equipped with 10.5cm f/4.5 Heliar lens (same as Brassai's camera). I'm amazed at the volume of negatives he shot with the Bergheil with a 2-1/4 x 3-1/4 film pack adapter. Lots of family pictures, and photos showing activities at the (then) Chicago College of Optometry where he was enrolled, and served as photo editor of the yearbook. Here is the camera with flash and roll film back (which I use). It features rising and shifting front standard and double extension bellows. Still have the really beat up film pack adapter and some cut film holders with leather case. < http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/DadPix/20181223_MR_Bergheil.jpg.html > Two shots taken for the school. < http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/DadPix/Ca_1954_MSR_CCO_ExamGirl_DSF6120.jpg.html > < http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/DadPix/Ca_1954_MSR_CCO_Rooster_DSF6160.jpg.html > All can be viewed large. -- Alan Alan Magayne-Roshak, Senior Photographer University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Photo Services (Retired) UPAA Photographer of the Year 1978 UPAA Master of the Profession 2014 amr3 at uwm.edu http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/ "All the technique in the world doesn't compensate for an inability to notice.
