I would love to see more videos like this! Maybe whenever you guys get something unique or really cool, you could take it out for a spin for us!
Keep up the great work Kameratori team!
You leave the paper seal on your 120!‽ In almost every camera I’ve used they highly recommend removing it to avoid bowing the backing paper and letting light in through the edge.
it's better to remove it, even if the chance of issue is quite low (-: I've learned the error of my ways! - Connor
Awesome video, I loved the overall vibe and info about this amazing camera
Nice the German Kamera - tolles Design und wunderbare Aufnahmen
Piękny aparat, razem z Zeissem Ikoflexem coffecan stanowiły godną konkurencję dla Rolleyflexa. Pozdrawiam z Śląska.
Lovely video. Really reminds me of my time in Finland. Thanks!
Beautiful Video, thank you! :)
Thanks for watching!

If the focus screen is dim, it's very likely that the mirror is detoriated. Otherwise it is very usable. The element reflecting the shutter speeds up is actually a prism. I do like my two superbs (one with Skopar, one with Heliar) and yes, the camera is that special because it was designed to have all the features of a Rolleiflex without voiding their patents
Mirrors can be replaced or in a worst case, resilvered.
@@Kitsaplorax If one were to replace the mirror, do you just buy standard mirror and cut it to size or is there such a thing as an "optical grade" mirror?
Never thought I'd ever see a Superb, not ever, as they are so rare outside collections these days. It took me several years to just find a Brilliant, the poor cousin of the featured camera you show here. I'm always amazed just how well these early film cameras function, producing incredible images with the barest of features in some very trying conditions, with taking lenses getting flare quite easily when shooting anywhere near the direction of the light source. Was thrilled with your review, and hope to see more of the older type film camera's in the near future.
We were so excited about a working Superb that we had to give it some screen time! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching, Murray!

Great video on a wonderful camera! It's very impressive. I thought the quality of the images were very good!
Me too! I was blown away by some of the photos we got from the Superb. Truly a lovely piece of camera history. Thanks for watching!

I had no idea the Voigtländer had a Parallax adjusted viewfinder. My old Yashica 128 which was much newer didn't not. There is a unnique look to lager format cameras that I love, even more so with sheet file cameras.
It’s a nice camera to use. The top SS is only 1/250 which is typical for the era. A lens hood (29mm push on) helps control some of the flair seen in some of the images here. It is of course uncoated but lens sharpness if not contrast is excellent. A previous owner added a modern focusing screen to my copy but it’s still demands attention when framing and focusing
Great video, interesting to see what images can the camera produce
It would be really cool to see a video featuring the Olympus OM40, especially since I think you are a fan of it (judging by the Q&A), and there´s not a lot of videos about this really underrated camera
The OM40 is quite a versatile camera! I'd love to cover it, along with some other underrated entry-level SLRs. Possibly get some new shooters in and document their experiences. Ideas, ideas, ideas! - C
Great video! Really interesting camera! I would like to see a video on the Tessina L (smallest ‘TLR’) or on a Miranda camera as I don’t often see videos on them.
Great suggestion!
I made it a habit to try to educate photographers all over RUclips presenting some Voigtländer gear on how to pronounce it correctly (with little success, unfortunately). Voigtländer is not pronounced with an "oy" like in "joy" but with a long "o" like in "horse" or "door".
Personally, I really like the look of those old lenses. I myself use a 1939 Rolleiflex as my preferred medium format camera. The Superb is in fact a great camera and was one of the more serious competitors to the Rolleiflex in its time. It had a better lens (the Heliar has five elements to the Tessar's four elements) and its parallax correction was unmatched - the Superb is the only TLR where the viewer's image is identical with what the taking lens is actually taking. I'm still hoping to find a good one for a reasonable price someday.
Wow! Great pictures and video Connor and Nico!. I really did enjoy this one. About the camera review I'd love to watch.... What about any medium format panoramic camera (6x12 or 6x17)?
That would be way out of my comfort zone, which probably means it would be an entertaining video! I'll see what we have around the store! - C
greetings from argentina!, great video, I have the same camera, wich film do you recomend? very interesting that you have to pull out the lever 4 to 6 times, i didnt know it. there's no chance that you could verified if the frame advance? thx
Nor sure what speed you were metering your film at (no one ever says on here), but why would you shoot 800 speed film on a camera limited by such slow shutter speeds?
More weird ancient TLRs, like Rollei 4x4.
