|
|
I enjoy using old mechanical cameras. I dug out a nice Zeiss Contessa 35 mm folder that is a wonderful camera. I was surprised to find a name engraved on the back, Carmine J. Caruso. It was made between 1953-55. I wonder if it was owned by our Mr. Caruso, Does anyone know if Carmine's middle name started with J? I can't find his middle name anywhere on the net.

What a cool find! As a trumpeter, fellow photography enthusiast, and former professional photographer, I find this to be wicked cool. It didn't happen to have any film in it by chance? I know it's a long-shot to assume it could still be developed, but it would be worth a shot I think. Could provide further clues to it's past ownership. _________________ “Jazz is not dead, it just smells funny.” – Frank Zappa
