    Attic Find

    While cleaning out mom's attic I came across an old airline travel bag. inside I found 2 cameras and a couple of lenses. A mini tripod and a GE exposure meter.
    The first camera is a Dacora matic 4D.
    The second camera is an Exakta VX IIA. It has a Carl Zeiss Tessar 1:3.5 f=5cm.
    There is an Olympus Zuiko C. 1:3.5 f=4cm. No.62004
    The last lens is a Soligor Elitar 135mm f:2.8 Telephoto. with covers and original box.
    The Meter is a GE Type PR-1.

    I am relatively new to photography and have only really used digital.
    Any info would be appreciated

    Nice find! Not familiar with these particular cameras but, found a couple links that might help:

    Dacora-Matic 4D

    Exakta VX

    The Oly lens I assume goes to a different camera, maybe one of their old RF cameras? The only reference to the Soligor I could find was for the old Canon FD mount. If the cameras are still working, I would say load them up and have some fun. Should make for some fun shots :thumbsup:
