I picked up a Zone Vi in great shape tonight at a local auction. Plan on keeping and using it with my Tachihara. Looks liek this camera has been in storage for almost ten years - it came with an unopened box of Polariod 55 b&w film that has an expiry date of Aug 2000. I wonder if it's still good.
Anyhow, couple of questions. First, it's a bit sticky on the rails. Would a little bit of wax rubbed on the rails be okay? I've always done that for sticky dresser drawers.
Second, any way to date this camera for fun? The serial number is 14223 and the front plate has "Made by Zone VI Studios, Newfane, Vermont, USA". This model is NOT the lightweight version. I've included a photo below of the camera below that I grabbed of the auction website, but it's bang on.
thanks much
joe
