Voigtlander Perkeo I & Agfa Flash


 My Perkeo I is seen here being fitted with an old vintage Agfa flash holder and a new flash bulb. Acquisition of these extra redundant accessories was never intended if not for some incidental estate lot purchases. Oh well....

Dressed them up just for my own satisfaction, the flash holder's battery of course is no longer available and therefore it is non-working.

All these were from the 50s' and isn't it nostalgic to have a glimpse of what casual photographers have had to go through just to snap some night shots; bring out the holder, fix it up, fit in the bulb and lastly the wire connecting to the camera!


 My Perkeo has just been loaded up for snapping to have a feel of this vintage classic 6 x 6. Of course, the flash and bulb have  to stay home and away from the curiosity of onlookers!
It's actually comfortable having a Perkeo around for some 120 films snapping since it is quite light and quiet.

Cheers!
