I think that links pointing directly to a picture are too deep, even if the original page is credited. I have rearranged it a little. --[[User:Rebollo fr|Rebollo fr]] 13:21, 14 May 2006 (EDT)

:I wouldn't argue with that. However, we now read for both: ''you can click on the picture to enlarge it''; for one, this is only true if you ask your browser to display the photo. This is typically achieved by ''right-''clicking the photo and choosing the relevant option -- of course impossible with a regular Apple mouse. In other words the article now expects the reader to have at least an elementary ability to use their own browser. In Wikipedia, such an expectation might be decried as "elitist" (groan) or similar. -- [[User:Hoary|Hoary]] 22:38, 14 May 2006 (EDT)

::In both cases my browser (Firefox) opens the image in full size in a separate window, so I did not pay special attention. If you think that the behaviour can differ with other browsers, you can precise it in the link description. Maybe we can exceptionally insert a deep link if the picture is really hard to access for some users, in that case I would tend to put the link to the picture after the main URL, and explain why it is there (I'm leaving it to you because I do not know which one is concerned). --[[User:Rebollo fr|Rebollo fr]] 05:33, 15 May 2006 (EDT)

We read (well, I wrote): "The '''Mine Six IIF''', introduced in mid-1955, with an S-Kominar lens, was the first to have a ''coupled'' rangefinder. It was advertised in the August 1955 issue of ''Asahi Camera'' for ¥13,000, including case."

Today I personally examined something calling itself a Mine Six IIF. It had a unit-focussing Deep-C lens. It came with an English-language manual -- incidentally, from Takane Kōgaku (yes, complete with macron) -- that referred to the Deep-C lens.

Earlier article history

For the earlier history of this article, please see the history of "Takane Mine Six". -- Hoary 11:02, 14 May 2006 (EDT)

Different IIF for export?

We read (well, I wrote): "The Mine Six IIF, introduced in mid-1955, with an S-Kominar lens, was the first to have a coupled rangefinder.."

And that's what the book said.

Today I personally examined something calling itself a Mine Six IIF. It had a coupled rangefinder and a unit-focussing "Deep-C" lens. It came with an English-language manual -- incidentally, from Takane Kōgaku (yes, complete with macron) -- that referred to the Deep-C lens.

This doesn't correspond to the IIF as described here, or to anything else. -- Hoary 23:37, 1 June 2006 (EDT)

Here is a link to a Japanese dealer who sold a Mine Six IIF, with pictures. I have seen a similar camera for sale at a Yahoo Japan auction, with 1/200 top speed instead of 1/300. --Rebollo fr 08:31, 2 June 2006 (EDT)

Another, minor difference: the camera this morning (check your email) has a very decorative sort of metal plate on the outside of the, um, the, what's it called? ... the door that opens so that the lens can pop out. -- Hoary 08:44, 2 June 2006 (EDT)

You might want to check this page for another Mine Six IIF (no. 59950) with Deep-C lens (no. 26257?). The seller mentions a Rectus shutter to 1/300, but I read "Copal" on the speed rim. --Rebollo fr 05:48, 4 April 2007 (EDT)

But yes: it says "Copal" all right. (I wonder why he'd say "Rectus".) -- Hoary 06:20, 4 April 2007 (EDT)

Can we have a revert war?

R fr, I'm sure this edit was well intended, but I don't much like it.

Might you have misinterpreted my earlier (and deleted) message? That referred to an earlier problem (briefly, the problem that seems to be triggered by attempting to include jpegs with filenames that don't end jpg or jpeg). -- Hoary 10:01, 25 January 2008 (EST)

My edit was well intended, but I made it in a rush and was inattentive. I didn't notice that the page was already fixed, sorry! I reverted myself with the "rollback" button.
