Golden Steky

흔히들 '장롱 카메라'라고 하는, 어느날 집을 정리하다 불현듯 나타난다고 하는 정체 불명의 - 실은 아주 예전에 사두고 쓰지 않았던 - 카메라!
그 장롱 카메라가 엄마에게도 있을 줄이야-

조금 다르다면 엄마도 아주 오래전에 물려받은거라 사용을 못해봤다는 점이지만.
이거, 필름을 끼우려면 어떻게 열어야 할지 조금 곤란하게 생겼다.

역사 속의 물건 찾는 기분. 매뉴얼을 얻기는 힘들 듯하다. (하지만... 뒤지고 뒤진 끝에 동일 모델의 스캔본 매뉴얼을 하나 찾아냈다! )

모델명은 Golden Steky.



"The Steky's and the Ricohs have much in common. Most Stekys were made by Ricoh. And the Stekys and Ricohs used the same lens mount."

Golden Steky (1957) : Interchangeable, fixed-focus 25mm (f3.5-16) lens. The focus is fixed at around 12 feet and had adequate depth-of-field. Speeds of B, 1/50-1/200. The vertical style was gone; the camera was redesigned to look like a small rangefinder camera. To add to the appeal, the camera had a bright gold finish -- real gold plating!. Even the viewfinder (with marks for the tele lens) is gold tinted. The shutter speeds were bumped up slightly, which helped avoid blurred pictures. A gold-plated 40mm telephoto lens was available, but apparently in different styles. We have read about f4.5 and f5.6 versions. The f5.6 version is a focusing lens (as is the f4.5) and focuses from 3.5 feet to infinity. It did not have a filter thread on the front. The camera has flash synch. The knob-winding film advance of the Steky was also gone; a standard film advance lever was added. With a threaded cable-release socket and tripod socket this is a very capable camera. With this model a new cassette for the film was used. It was much larger than the Steky cassette and double-lobed. It was used in all Ricoh 16's.

'the vertical style was gone' 이라는건 이전의 Steky I,II,III 모델이 세로로 길쭉한 스파이카메라였던 반면에, 이 모델에는 일반적인 디자인을 채용한 것을 말하는가보다.

Golden Ricoh라는 모델과 같은 카메라인듯. (참고 : http://www.subclub.org/gallery/ricoh16.htm)

p.s 그러고보니 맞는 필름을 어떻게 구한다?
