Talk:Regula Reflex 2000 CTL

Myths on this camera

As an owner of this camera from the beginning, I have my doubts on the story novacon spreads concerning the problems with Leica. Mr Kleinfeldt from Germany, a profound expert on the camera and on the market in these days (70s), does so, too. See (I hope someone knows german): [1].

In fact, Regula in the end was unsuccessful whith a disc-camera, and that broke their neck [2]

Your pictures, I don't know why, are those of a very, very badly treated camera. Mr. Kleinfeldt made a perfect photo of the twins from Regula and Ringfoto (not with the Westromat by ISCO, sorry): [3] As I have both cameras, too, in good shape, I would make a photo of both for you, as Kleinfeldt did, if he doesn't give you the rights for his photo.

There are very interesting informations on this camera in "Photo deal", a german print-magazine on old cameras, which is still available. There are informations in I/2003 and IV/2012 [4] I posess both magazines.

Please, look at the informations I quoted and ask Volkmar Kleinfeldt, as he is a real expert, and we don't know how long we are going to have this great man among us, yet. Be nice, as he knows he's one of the best.

And change your information on this gorgeous camera, which I bought from Ringfoto in Germany and used it from the day I was 16 years old, 1971, until the shutter jammed 1985, and I was forced to buy an EOS 650 (great camera, too). To my great pleasure, 1990 I was able to buy the original Regula camera whith the Westromat at a flea market for a song (25€). I'm still using the fully functional Regula from time to time, whith great pleasure.

Thanks for your website! cacol

Hi cacol! We use the pictures we have: if you have the camera in better condition, by all means take some pictures of it. Our pictures are pretty much all taken from the Camera-wiki group pool at Flickr; that's the place to put pictures for use in the wiki (we take submission to the pool as permission to use them here, but copyright remains with the owner). As for pictures, so with text: if you know better information than our article has, feel free to write here (subject to normal wiki etiquette: the style should be fairly formal, like an encyclopaedia, and you should back up any facts that are controversial with references. Other people are likely to edit what you write; you have the right to expect them to respect your contribution, as you should respect anything you edit. Blah blah - check out the Help pages). We can only write what we know, and each of us spends his/her time on the cameras we know and are interested in. If you care about this one, maybe you're the best to write about it!

Thanks for your explanations. I changed a lot in the original text, so I think it's ok now. I'm not ready yet with my fotos of the camera, patience please. Cheers cacol
