This camera came to me about 20 years ago from England in a baggie as an assortment of parts. Helen built herself a "best of" with better parts and sent me everything that was left behind. I was able to put it together to make a fairly decent camera.
Neoca IVS, Japan, 1958. Neokor f:2.8 / 45mm lens in Citizen MV B shutter 1-400, bright frame rangefinder.
I took it off the shelf this month and loaded it up with a roll of Fujicolor 200. Rating the film @ ASA 50 I exposed it last week, Laumeier Sculpture Park and National Museum of Transportation.
Developing was was here in my studio with my normal Caffenol recipe, using safe household ingredients, coffee, vitamin C, washing soda, and salt. Negatives were scanned with my Epson and sepia tone added in software.
The camera is very economical with film loading and I managed 27 images on the roll of 24. I decided to tweak them all and show them here.
Wonderful pictures - especially knowing that you put the camera together yourself !

I really like the cars and trains developed in this manner. They show up better. The park sculptures look amazing. Does the museum run the trolley?? It looks like it is position to pick up passengers. I can't believe my brother built that camera. Wonderful!!
