Taken with an East German Reflekta Camera.  The lens on this camera had some haze due to it's age and this has created a 'soft focus' look. 

This is the camera used to take many of the photographs in this article. Other cameras from MAVtech can be seen in the background. The Reflekta was a budget 'twin lens reflex' camera, but still offered full focusing control and a selection of shutter speeds. Many smaller camera companies traded in East Germany at the time, but most were merged into the giant VEB Pentacon company by the middle of the 1960s.

Taken with the Reflekta Camera. Black and white film was used in this series. In part, this was for a 'retro' effect but many vintage cameras have early lenses which struggle to take photos outside without lens flare. The effect of flaring is most noticeable in colour!
