Flexaret VI Meopta Czech Czechoslovakia MF TLR camera CLA works Metax Belar
If you wonder why I have same shipping to European union like for rest of world it is thetherefore because for these sales needs to be paid VAT to government. There is no option in ebay software how to set it I am using part of shipping charge (and still loosing on sales to EU). If you are from EU and you will purchase 2 or more items I will arrange for you special shipping charge that can be lower like for heaviest item itself! If you are from Europe but not from European union or you have valid EU VAT No., do not pay and ask me for shipping charge mentioned bellow in description.
To many EU countries now I can arrange courier shipping in range €8-23. If you will bid in this auction, ask in advance, or at least prior making a payment I will tell you exactly how much charge will be to your destination.
To USA I am offerińg now Fedex economy shipping. Experiences so far shows that delivery takes 6-7 days and I will shorten handling time to 3 days max. I still need some time to test, remove eventuell problems that by old cameras during storing can happen and pack it. If possible I will send them at the beginning.
Flexaret cameras were really cult classic in former Czechoslovakia. I am in fact happy that some of you like them, too. They were produced in Prerov city. Because they were really workhorses we used them long time for serious work - before the Pentacon six era.
Flexaret VI was in production in years 1961-1967. This camera is until today capable to take quality pictures (well acceptable for example by enlarging 14 x 11 and even larger) and mechanically and optically is better than for example later Russian Lubitel 166 U!
And you can use it for medium and 35-mm format!!!
Flexaret VI is twin-lens reflex camera for roll film of 12 pictures 6x6 cm or 33-35 pictures of size 24x36 mm in 35 mm roll film. Film feed: by a knob with simultaneous winding-up of shutter. Picture counter: automatic for 12 pictures. Release: blocked with advancing of film. Central, five-lamella type shutter. Cameras with Metax are very reliable workhorse cameras those break very rarely.
Usually with Metax shutter. Prontor SVS shutter by Flexaret VI is very rare. 98% of cameras here are with Metax shutter. Cameras with black leatherette are rare as well.

. Leatherette without scratches, no dirt.  Black edges with usual mark above camera lock otherwise without wear. Viewfinder with few  scratches on sides, with 2 mini marks on loupe. Slight wear on advance knob. No marks on  bayonet mounts.  Focusing knob is original one. Very nice and fresh lookin.
Including case and cap.
Camera was recently CLA therefore works properly, shutter speeds are appropriate. Glass on taking lens is clean, no fungus. Few countable light cleaning scratches on front coating are visible from rear end only. They will not affect pictures for sure. Very good glass for lens type. It is very hard find unscratched Belar lens and you are naive if you think that purchasing camera by other seller will help. I bet that 90% of Belar lenses have scratches - and look how many sellers are writing about scratched glass. Focusing and stopping is smooth. Flash synchro contact works. Selftimer works. Viewfinder is clean. I believe camera is well usable.
We are repairing, overhauling, cleaning and lubricating every camera, lens, binocular, microscope ... to restore its original functionality as much as possible. However we are not disassembling it completely and clean every part in ultrasonic cleaner separately if not necessary. If I am not satisfied how something works - considering item age and construction - I will write about it in description. You do not need ask me if it works, we did everything possible to repair it, and I believe for some groups is our repair workshop between the most qualifying in world. Get it working better can only better repairman (or with better replacement part source). However I am not manufacturing them, therefore always read carefully my description about glass, etc.
Btw, if you need repair some older mechanical camera, lens, accessory, binocular or microscope you can always ask me.

), it has automatic insurance coverage up to
€50
(Euro) per packet, contact me, if higher insurance is required than use worldwide option. They do exist express options (EMS and business packet) to most countries of world however cost are different (expensive) you need ask about them separately.

REGISTERED (letter), it has automatic insurance coverage up to
€50
(Euro) per packet, contact me, if higher insurance is required than use worldwide option. They do exist express Courier options to most EU countries, cost are different (low) you need ask about them separately.
If post will confirm that insured packet was lost or damaged (you need claim by delivery) I will replace it - when impossible refund the full amount. I need wait for post confirmation, too many crooks lately trying to have both item and money.
It is included in it incombinable packing and handling charge that remains by combined shipping. Rest of charge I will combine and calculate just true shipping charge for packet to your country if you will purchase more items.
I have declared up to 10 days handling time for my items. I need this time to control and last time test every item, for items shipped out of European union put it in custom office that needs 2-3 days prepare documents and transfer packet to post office. Expected postal delivery time is usually up to 2 weeks but delays simple happens, for example in USA packet often need more days for security control in custom office. For these reasons I choose to check ebay shipping option "economy shipping ... 11-20 business days", I hope that you will get as quick as possible (in most cases you can calculate get packet 1.5-2 weeks after payment date if you are in European union, 2-3 weeks for rest of world) but really I can not affect work of custom and post offices worldwide anyway and delays can happen. Online trackable it is in some countries, for example USA, China, Japan.
Contact me before making any Ebay or Paypal claim, PLEASE!
Combined shipping saves often costs per item considerably but not in all situations, ask about exact items. By very cheap item is possible ship uninsured - this will cost less, but I will do it only if you will declare that you will not make any claim if packet will be lost by transport.
Look at my other auctions for more camera items!
Greetings from Slovakia and happy bidding!
Sorry, usually I can't reply questions during Friday-Sunday. If is some difference between description and picture usually is mistake in description, by cameras, lenses, prisms, etc, picture always show actual item (some small items like extension tubes, flash shoes, etc can be exception). I will correct all links until Tuesday.
