Description Got these from my dad last week when visiting. The 57 Asahi was what I learned on. It will go in my show case. It has a wonderful history. You can read about it on line. The Duaflex II will be used for TtV work as soon as I can figure a contraption for it. The ME super I will get cleaned and use.

Thank you for looking

Dad was an Anthropologist who taught Anthropology, sociology, high school and Jr. Collage history as well as photography. He’s expertise were south western native America cultures. Much of my teen years were spent in the south west ruins taking pictures. A great place to find ones self in the late 60's. Grateful to have someone with such knowledge to share the experiences with.

Have the same Vivitar flash, and I still use it now and then. It was also a item passed down from my father.

I bet you could adapt that Macro Extension tube to work on your camera.
