Description

Milona 2 Meopta Czech strut folding 6x6 6x4.5 MF camera CLA works Vebur Mirar
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.
This camera type was produced starting from 1945 up to 1950. This was tipping (folding) photographic camera for the pictures of sizes 6x6 or 6x4.5 cm on roll film.
It is as minimum as hard to find this camera here mint like the Fed 1 that was manufactured in the same time. May be more hard because to wear this camera is more easy than Fed 1. And this camera was not produced in hundred thousands like Feds and Zorkis.
I have a question. Do you know how to determine if it is Milona 1 or Milona 2 (it is not written on camera). Milona 2 has system (patent of famous Czech photographer professor Premysl Koblitz) above the shutter, that allows bent the shutter with lens in borders of 1 mm.
This Milona 2 is the variety without picture counter and with flash shoe.
What even more surprising for me that several buyers indicated to me that camera has well lens and takes nice pictures.

This is rare variety with prolongation for cable release. I see it very rarely. If you collect varietys of this camera this is quite interesting.
Cosmetically is this camera
EXCELLENT

With case. Without mask strips for 6x4.5 pictures.
Camera was recently CLA therefore works properly, shutter speeds are appropriate. Lens glass is clean, no fungus, no scratches. Very good glas for this type. Focusing and stopping is smooth. Bellows is light tight (controlled with flashlight) - today most Milonas have pinholes but this is OK. Camera looks to me to be in fully working order.
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.
Air mail shipping and handling charge is
WORLDWIDE

- INSURED (parcel) ; to
European countries those are not in European union

REGISTERED (letter), it has automatic insurance up to
€50
(Euro),contact me, if higher insurance is required than use worldwide option.  They do exist express options (courier) 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.
