CHRISTMAS? ... the question of time.
Christmas? A chronological time? A liturgical-theological? Or maybe just the only time in the distilled drinking days. The one and the same time unreflective, lived, first of all thought and theory. Individual and collective experience, psychological and social. Nomadic or sedentary time, cyclical, or becoming, evolution or eternal return. Fragments collected in time to do this most sacred and protect it against something and someone who could debase, mar. But always and time, although sometimes some of its individual fragments appear brighter or valuable than others. Time of joy and fatigue, time of sun or ancestral piogge.Riconoscimento more or less graceful movements of the cosmos and its atmosphere, movements which, in almost all cultures were identical to the divine movements. So even a Solstice ... December 25, the beginning of a different event, or around the summer into winter, second from that point Geographically we look at it. Evolution of minutes to allow the light to stay longer with us or to leave before, but always fragments in order to live and learn to live. Solstice, from the Latin solstitium, that is, stopping the sun and then go forward or reverse the trend toward ... ... Memory of the gods, or after the fall of the Roman empire, the memory of the son of God the fullness of time, as stated in letter written by Paul, the community of Galicia (cf. Ga 4:4). Finding a size and a historical sense that are less dilated and that imposed by the geographical coordinates of empires and the human in order to recognize the most secret the birth pangs of so many men and women that every day know how much it costs or what it means to give birth to someone or something: a dream, an 'idea, a plant, a job ... But the whole effort of biodiversity that accompanies even our most secret historical developments and allows the Solstice to resume its course. So yes from Bolivia:
Merry Christmas to everyone and everything.
Antonietta Potente op - community.

urging us to interfere in the dialogue between Senator Marcello Pera and BENEDICT XVI


There are historical moments in which ideas seem to follow the flow of movements and wave breaking on the shore as if not if they had ever gone. Although aware of the many momentous changes, there are world views that seem to prefer the eternal return of the most systematizations certain ideological and doctrinal fidelity in the name of which makes the numerical majority of us poor mortals, sinners and morally unwise. Certainly, our era is complex, certainly the historical coordinates on which we move, sometimes seem to be very messy. Despite this, every historical interpretation that makes the present era of humanity and a total area of \u200b\u200binconsistency, where, according to this view, all walking ambiguously, dazzled by the light of superficiality, I think it really reprehensible, as well as raise in me a deep sadness. Who do I mean? Eco already arrived there via the Corriere della Sera, in a letter from Benedict XVI that gathers the main plot of the book's publication senator and philosopher Marcello Pera, entitled: Why do we call ourselves Christians (Mondadori Editore).
I do not want and I can not even go into details of the contents of the book, but I want to do about the letter that accompanies the text by Marcello Pera, published Nov. 23, a few days ago, and is probably at the same time, cash Resonance and inspiration, as it is not the first time that the two authors do a concert for four hands on socio-cultural and religious issues (See: No roots. Mondadori 2004). For now, therefore, is only the letter of Joseph Ratzinger that provoked in me some feelings and some thoughts. So I pick up some chips, then vacate the echo within that aroused in me.
The first fragment is with regard to the roots of liberalism, which feed the second-Ratzinger - Christian image of God I do not want to summarize what is meant by "liberalism" and above all its multiple facets taken throughout history , but I feel unusual to say without a shadow of criticism that liberalism is the ideal condition for a truly Christian culture. Perhaps this is even more strange to me, knowing Benedict XVI's comments on the text by Marcello Pera, one of the leaders of those political movements that have chiseled liberal ideals to make them in the image and likeness of those neo-liberal economy. The Italian liberalism, great grandson of the Anglo-Saxon liberalism born at the end of the seventeenth century and represented in England by David Hume, Adam Smith, Edmund Burke and others. How can
hurry to find harmony between Christianity and liberalism and doubt, however, on possible dialogue with other cultures and religions of historical geography and existential? How can I search for complicity, without a shadow of doubt and without fear, between the Christian message and that of European liberalism and have, instead, so many doubts and fears when it comes to read the historical part of whole societies and cultures, given the complexity of its new and vital needs?
How can bless and assist those who think the dream of a European constitution in which Europe does not become a cosmopolitan reality, but is, from its liberal-Christian foundation, its own identity? Perhaps the concept of the ecumene
Gospel is not true cosmopolitan Europe questioned by other cultures and other religions? Perhaps Benedict XVI has forgotten that this ebb and flow of people, cultures and religions is also due to the ideals set of a liberal cultural and political and economic neo-liberalism of our days, that propel whole nations into submission to the imperatives of social and cultural myths so-called developed countries?
What happens? How can those who, as a representative of a religious denomination that would support the extension of the dream thoughts, ideas and understanding of the harmony of gestures, supports, however, with conviction, that interreligious dialogue in the strict sense of the word is not possible? What Ratzinger is the second inter-religious dialogue in the strict sense ...? Why, maybe there is one in a broad sense?
In fact, the true dialogue is not played in the spheres high, because life is not in play at the highest echelons of our political institutions, political and religious, in itself already died. Life is at stake in the depths of this most ordinary European society in which people try to talk not to maintain the privileges and powers, but simply to live, day after day. And these are the areas where there is faith, however, between different world view and actions, because there is a will to live and the constant quest to inhabit the world in another way.
It 's true, perhaps Christianity might contribute to this new face of Europe, but I wonder about Christianity? Reading between the lines, I realize that Ratzinger, had he written more long, would have made further distinctions and not only religions, but in particular on the only Christian who, according to him can help, that is Catholicism.
And then the other, with their wisdom, experience with their search for God, self, history, and these others? Perhaps their evolutions, revolutions and revelations are not necessary, do not count, are absurd? But this postmodern world is so bad?
But Catholic theology, never doubt of his failure? What a privilege we have? Never mind that these details are not captured by Senator Pera, but a representative of a church and a theologian's more: how is it possible?
So, if examined and I stop, I come back to mind the words of the daughter of a friend of mine (a girl of about 9 / 10 years) that one evening he asked me what they meant the shadows in the allegory of Plato's cave. It 's true, perhaps we need to remember this allegory groped and semantics of the text, to understand what happens in the theology of the Catholic Church.
Prisoners are linked so that they can only see the wall of a cave. A great fire, from behind, projecting shadows on the wall. What do they see the prisoners? They see the shadows cast by their bodies or any object or shape that is projected on the wall. In short, the prisoners can not see real objects, but note only two-dimensional shadows cast by objects that in reality, can not really see. And that is why they can not see the real causes of the shadows, the prisoners believe that the shadows are the only true reality.
We know that the ancient philosopher, in proposing the allegory, he hoped to discover some properties of the "world of forms." Today, this allegory has become very important in physics, and physics, helps us understand that what they see the prisoners are two-dimensional images, so that they, think that the world is only two-dimensional. This, in my opinion is the problem of theology and Christian European culture of today. We plan to continue to live in a two-dimensional world which we make sure to know everything, even though they are only shadows, reflections. But today, the history, specifically in quest'autoriscoperta identity, is displayed in all its complexity and hence diversity. The cultures are an expression of a variety of individuals, social groups, subjects of different gender, worldviews. The claim that the world today is its maturity and its impulses, is not a deplorable sin, but rather a 'mystical initiative, from within the human being, that we rediscover worthy to take the initiative and especially eager not to give up history to reach the essence self, truth and the whole world. The world today is no longer two-dimensional and perhaps science could tell us something about these religious and cultural concerns of Europe.
's why we remain perplexed by the opinions of a representative of religion that does not support the people who dared to dream of in the history of today, with hard work, dare to come out from the idea or experience gained in the cave and out, feels other dimensions. I personally think that trying other people, other ideas, other features, not only historical but also transcendental to re-weave the web of social, emotional, spiritual and political life of mankind, does not mean losing one's identity of their faith. Whereas it seems to me that does not preclude a dialogue is a true prevents the mystery, the revelation at the complicity of God with humanity and its biodiversity cosmic. Certainly this is not an easy road, surely this is not the result of social and political meetings, as well as religious, which are based on the logic of the privileges to which the Catholic Church throughout the world, has always used; economic logic , power in name recognition of their faith.
It is a birth, a real pain in childbirth, are daily efforts, including those who are perhaps in some places and read the story from a certain point of view, you forgot or did not ever known. Experience the diversity of the coast, has some very high prices. Certainly it is easier to be approved or better dominate, with a single thought and witness the sparks of truth with a single experience. When this is so, perhaps end the pain of childbirth of human creativity, but also, end the dreams of all those real exchange rates and, instead, it brings back all the eternal divine powers Olympians religious and social.
However, until we could discuss endlessly about this reading and interpretation of history and life, but at least we did something very simple memory, which concerns its cosmopolitan roots of early Christianity, as told in Acts of the Apostles, as told by Paul. Perhaps even more two-dimensional contexts all of those that we know today, but that nevertheless, allowed to feed to Christianity even in the most complex and diverse in its very fundamental characteristic of deep passion for reconciliation. A passion that makes the most apophatic theology, in its language and not enough in this research, including vision, hearing and nostalgia for the absence, the absent and the absent. A progressive journey of revelation of alternative languages, which should see the wrinkles are not only humanity but also of this Catholic community of believers captive shadows. I hope that someone out the cave, come back and tell us the multiple dimensions of reality and thus continue to look for, ourselves and God, according to the vision of Ratzinger and Marcello Pera, seems so alien to our efforts and tentative understandings of life. Personally I hope that, once again, all those who yearn for and dare the world in another way, you may be forgiven for having loved too much and for having dedicated his life to look for each other and seek. If today, the daughter of my friend, come back to make my question, the answer to every shadow evokes something more, not just what's behind it, but what lies ahead and who is outside and that she and only she, to be faithful, and others will discover with others.

Chemical Formula Of Paint Used On Cars



something more than simple news


Antonietta Potente Cochabamba


The stalactites hang from the roof . The stalagmites grow from the ground. All crystals are fragile, born from the sweat of the rock, deep in the cave that the water and the time they dug into the mountain. The stalactites and stalagmites are sought each other by moltti years in the darkness, drop by drop, down some more climbing. Some million years later still before touching. No hurry ...
(Edoardo Galeano. Espejos. Buenos Aires 2008)


is not easy to make a synthesis of what has happened in Bolivia in recent days. Each
current events, in fact, brings a long history, a mixture of official and unpublished; individual and collective. And perhaps it is the individual stories, the only ones to have the right to speak, to tell, to say ... probably tell what remains hidden to any outside observer. The stories of people, beyond any political or sociological category, perhaps they are the only eloquent witnesses.

And so, as normally occurs every piece of human history, the same happens again, here in Bolivia. That is the facts do not explain anything, or maybe just explain, the information gathered here and there, biased or not, they too are simply the echo of a very complex history, woven from threads of human life, his desires, its initiatives, strengths, its struggles to be simply life. In this perspective, the stalactites and stalagmites, are history and history major. ... Born from the sweat of rock crystal. Historical tensions we would say, efforts made from within the being of every creature, every item that is part of life and therefore of human history. Time is complicit with the history, so, as I firmly believe, is complicit in the Spirit.
But neither the time nor the Spirit, are in a hurry ... the rhythms of this inner tension toward something, they are slow, while we, as the Psalm says, astonished and panic .. if we could escape.

tried to resist and therefore, as written by the prophet of the apocalypse, we continue to look ... Tell what is vision, directly or indirectly, not only facts, not just episodes, but vision. Everything has a meaning, everything has an inner story, highlighted by moments only for a few fleeting, for others, terribly long.

our history is really a snap pictures, colors and shadows. The slowness of the time does not seem to worry, because this is the story of a people strong, rebellious and unworthy. The immediacy of the news can only describe a part of this reality, but can not tell the truth, because its dynamics are very thin. And as always, questions in order, each classification: left-wing government, right-wing opposition, manipulation, bases, powers and foreign affairs, national or international politics ... all of these attributes are insufficient to describe this part of Latin American history. Yet there are constants which return faithfully doing the good and bad weather, but these constants does not overwhelm what we call the variables specific to this context.

So yes, we try to give some news. I state that many of those who are part of the Christian community and religious life, since we are not only saddened the country socio-political lives, but the position that the official church has taken in this last period since the beginning of the process of change . A very ambiguous position, which grows secretly privileges, which is blind analysis in the name of social peace (status quo) and that the majority of the people he sees as an ally of those who do not support the change process.

a nerve center Sta Cruz Santa Cruz has become the emblem of the opposition, an opposition that the government may be low, and that was force to find another space. This space has been found in the East Bolivian geography, its history and most certainly not indigenous mestizo, in the richness of its natural resources, in its political tradition that always has made it the cradle of the preferred power to the right. The excuse most obvious: the autonomy, conceived more as a federalism that as a real autonomy. The desire not to lose power over natural resources and manpower that makes fruitful. That 's what Sta.Cruz wants, or rather a privileged few in this area. It is they who cultivate the dream of a small republic where they can have a legislative and executive autonomy with madato to protect the great terratenientes of private ownership of land which are those that are at the head of the prefectural movimiento Civic Sta Cruz.E 'so that Sta Cruz begins to drag behind other provinces: Beni, Pando and Tarija ... Strategic geographies to claim the supposed autonomy, as are the territories where they are the largest natural gas reserves. In this way, you thought winning the institutional weakness of the opposition in parliament and even weaker than that of the Constituent Assembly, a body which is output from the new Costituizione policy of the state, although still subject to a future with a national referendum vote. This part of "separatist" in the country, it is called "media moon. "Referring to the eastern half of paese.Le other provinces, La Paz, Chuquisaca, Potosí, Oruro and Cochabamba form the other side of the moon, even if at this moment in a state of eclipse, since last year Chuquisaca had undertaken a policy contrary to that of the government. It 'clear that until these recent events, President Evo Morales and his government, was obliged to govern in an almost entirely separate from 4 autonomy prefects, recovering space and authority in the area after the people of Cochabamba prefect Manfred Reyes Villa is disqualified, this ambiguous character was doing the same dirty game of autonomy prefects. It 'so easy to see that the process exchange began three years ago, has slowed down and the strategy to stop it, we could say that almost succeeded. In addition to not wanting to lose privileges, groups of regional oligarchies, they do not want to change the Constitution. So, for them, it is important to spend 5 years, with violence, death, state of siege and economic crisis, but without allowing passage of the new Constitution. In fact this new constitutional document, would reinforce this process of change in all its legitimacy and democratic logic, take on new colors, and certainly more Latin Americans would say, Bolivia. The company would get new features and certainly less classist. The redemption of the wisdom of communities indigenous, would emerge a new authority and a new management of natural resources is that of social and legal. But what this new constitution does not guarantee they are existing privileges for certain groups in society who have always managed the politics, society and the economy, even the clergy. Meanwhile, even the means of PRESS, directly or indirectly involved in this process that seeks to curb the exchange rate, making a subtle campaign against the Government, and grassroots organizations. We must remember that government policy is Article introno recovery of natural resources and, nowadays, the forces opposed to this recovery using the same natural resources as an excuse to divide the people and the nation. Many analysts compare the situation with that of Bolivian ex-Yugoslavia, a real process of violent fractioning, a nation made to bits. And 'this is what he wants and what the opposition also wants the U.S. government, given that this process of change that has opened new horizons in much of the continent, weakens the U.S. world strategy. Not surprisingly, the former U.S. ambassador, Philip Goldberg's expulsion from the country immediately after the attempted coup of the opposition, according to his curriculum vitae, an early involvement in the Yugoslav civil war erupted in the 90's, until the fall of Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic. Before being used in Bolivia, Golderberg worked in Kosovo for the separation of the states of Serbia and Montenegro. A history of Bolivia with respect to distant war, but in any case a history of blood of a civil war managed with progressive strategies of decentralization and autonomy, which will then be imposed by the military intervention of the UN and U.S. troops accompanied por OTAN. There is nothing else to say that: let's hope not ... I hope that these types of analysis are not true ... we hope to be wrong, we hope, we hope ... But meanwhile, the Sept. 11, the date is also significant, was put in place a real and its armed attack, against what until now has been a process of democratic change, was born with all the socio-political, which made us really think that something was emerging alternative. The attack this time it was really violent. They were taken by storm installations, institutions and public enterprises in cities and provinces.

people were murdered (in the province of Pando), direngti base, farmers estrategia taken by surprise when we were moving from place to place for riunirsi.In these days the government has summoned the prefectures in the dialogue ... Yesterday and the day before yesterday, some ministers and government delegates have been waiting all day the arrival of the Prefects concerned ... No, tomorrow, Sunday, would have to sign a national agreement. The government has already sold enough on issues of regional autonomy, but the ghost of the new constitution is a ghost too big for those who have for centuries maintained its privileges, so., These guys will do anything because the shadow of this phantom secenda the four richest of the rich owners and owners of large estates of more than 50 000 hectares of land.

Hence one can understand why, because they want autonomy and regional fuel violent riots at the risk of fracturing the country just to protect the great properties of a few descendants of feudal lords, as well as all of Europe, Croatian and Turkish. (Cf. Viceministerio Tierras de Unidad de Promoción Indigena y Campesina. La Paz, 11 de septiembre de 2008. Boletín No. 67) These then, some news, but: it is to remember that all news is rhetorical point of view. So even this news, of course, are a point of view. Remains in us, then, the desire to have a kaleidoscope ability to understand, not to deceive us anymore. Remains in us, in the midst of confusion, the desire to cause a twisting motion in order to discover, distinguish and do not feel deceived or misled. Yes, because you will not want to move only the strength we would not take part in the story only handled by the thought of others. But it so happens, here and elsewhere, and for this reason, we feel the need to convert our vision in which an optical tips, observing shooting pictures and then cleans the thought, inspiration and language as well as faith.

LATEST: today we have to add that the dialogue between the government and the opposition has failed. The prefects of Santa Cruz, Tarija, Beni and Chuquisaca refused to sign the document proposed by the government to revise some aspects of the new constitution on autonomy and other details. This proposal was accepted by five governors in line with the government but not by others. The barrier was as expected, the new constitution that the "half moon" does not accept. Despite this, the government will seek support from the National Congress to pass legislation that will convene referendum to approve a new constitution. But the biggest problem are the basics, from both sides: those who support the government is willing to do anything to move this process forward and so do not accept this new policy. Who then is once again in disarray and the people. But what brought the prefects ... succeeded: split the country. Meanwhile prepare protest march demanding that the president carries out his own agenda ... the other side ... we'll see ... symptomatic: the prefect of Sta Cruz to end the dialogue, he did not want to shake hands with the President. Thank goodness that is a devout Christian.

What Kind Of Weave Was On Myammee

Antonietta Potente talks with Giovanna Melandri

PRESS
Antonietta Potente talks with Giovanna Melandri
Meeting Thursday, July 3 at 17:30
at the Biblioteca Angelica in Rome for the presentation of the book "Someone keeps screaming. For a mystical political"


Someone keeps screaming. For a mystique politics "is the title of the last book of Antonietta Potente, Italian theologian for many years resident in Bolivia and the non-profit organization promoting cultural ANT.ER.LUX, new Italian subject in view of international cooperation. The book will be presented Thursday, July 3 at 17:30 at the Biblioteca Angelica in Rome (St. Augustine's Square, 8). Antonietta Potente will be presented by the Honourable Giovanna Melandri, former Minister for Youth and Sports and Minister-present shadow of Communications of PD. The work of Antonietta Potente is developed from a search around the hermeneutic theology, ethics as art history, as well as a rethinking of religious life in the light of a spirituality rooted in the present that combines mysticism and politics. Its glossy reflection and concrete places it among the most fertile and creative theologians of the Italian and South American. His latest book reads in one breath and is published by Editions La Meridiana, actually actively engaged on issues of educational culture and spirituality. A book "cried softly," with the delicacy and the determination of a woman who does the "mystique politics" as "a key to interpret the post-modernity." "My theology - says the writer - is a joint science and complicit with the storytellers and narrators of stories. All and all we are challenged by this: there are those who are officially theology and those who simply tell you, living, breathing, being "inside". All the subjects of theology must move beyond all pre-established pattern and follow the life not only with the taste of "serving", but also to "touch" this is the mystic gesture of political life. From this dimension can not be ruled out politics as a gesture to serve the everyday life. "

Propellerhead Application Authorization

Association, intercultural, ... story ideas for submitting

... In these types of events every word can take on a tone a bit 'rhetorical pure speech that perhaps it may seem too demagogico.Ma for us this evening as we officially introduce the Association, this event does not is by no means obvious. Using precisely the

us maiestatico plural because this event is ours, is plural, is one of one kind or another is part of this complicity. We want this shared space widens and we become an expression of personality deeply sympathize with his life.

Behind each of us there is a story and every time the story of each one meets the other and somehow binds to the other, it becomes public, edits, enters the circulation of a real its political responsibility, and cultural town.

The term association, in the end, this proves, the ability to ensure that our stories become very public responsibilities, policies, entering into dialogue with the stories of others, others. Perhaps our association, just for having been designed by people who live in reality different, it was almost impossible not to attribute too specific: Intercultural Association. Because now they had to weave the threads of different worlds, historical situations and vocational different, because the dialogue has brought us now at different geographic scenarios.

Today, when cultural diversity is on trial. Today, just in Europe, where cultures do not belong only to the imaginary stories or documentaries, but they are actually very close, they have real faces and approaches the continent with existential issues and socio-political reality.

Today, therefore, speak about intercultural issues may seem like a challenge too big for us all, an unnecessary claim, given that this issue can not even manage to governments and official policy, so it might seem impossible and too far from us, talk about interculturalism.
Today, while we declare 2008 as the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue, at the same time you receive notice from the European Parliament's plenary in its first legislation concerning the 'adoption of a directive, not at all harmless, on immigration.

Yet it is today that we would go even further to think in another way, not only opined on the measures, but trying to say something and move in a certain way in this part of history that, like it or not, is different, multiple, plural. Let me remind us all that a cultural association does not underestimate the complexity of historical processes of coexistence among peoples and cultures, but rather, precisely because it takes this complexity, think about the diversity and give space to facilitate this meeting and deal with this problem. Behind every diversity there are people with real problems, stories of survival. There are dreams, desires, myths, but also rights, searches of their dignity, seeking their own identity and responsibility.

's why we want to try, we want to give our contribution, no escape from reality, falsify, or simply cover it under the veil of philanthropic attitudes.
We want to talk about the possibility that the history, starting from its own diversity, starting from its own rights, but also its resources, the human and the generous ecosystem. It 's why we keep interculturalism.

Culture, this ancient word that comes from Latin (from the verb "colere") from a verb that in itself means grow, wait carefully and take care across the diverse range of human actions: to take care of people, self, nature, of things (economy). Cultivating a thought, an education, that is, ways of being in this story. But of course know that there are many styles, ways of cultivating, to care for this and enter this detail.

E 'exchange, there is an inter ... something that acts as a link, there is an exchange between ... ... ... between intra , that all sense of dynamism: Try to find, understand , know, see ...

Interculturalism as a method of growth between different contributions, different models, the complex processes of growth of us as individuals and society. E 'against a proposal individualism and also against all conformity.

In this sense, the association became an alternative space, not substitute, the institutions, but proactive, able to identify new subjects as well as new challenges and able to dialogue with political institutions, able to suggest and implement and test different structures.

This is a deeply historic gesture, that is, those who see the facts of the beholder and becomes a witness of the things that happen.
I think that today we must all be a little 'history, to exit out of our anonymity, not to let the story is in the hands of a few people and always the same, with the usual dynamics of management, thought, action . But the historian, as saying some ethnic groups of Mexico appears to be an entity made up of many little people ... because the historian is not a lover of the past, but this in turn is also made of the past. Being a historian is therefore to be alert, able to sympathize with this, to take initiative for this not to complain forever and feel that we are still alive and that the story still has many things to say, still has many resources, many possibilities.

We, therefore, today, quite simply, we want to make ourselves available to this story, break or abandon all those attitudes that make life hard for many women and men for the same biodiversity, reminding also that there are different points of view and every point is precious and must be collected ...

The appeal of this camera system is given by the opening of the optical plate, closed by two doors that open by pressing the shutter button, and the genius of the mechanisms.
The feed system is unique: instead of a conventional button or an uncomfortable cocking lever is an original piston "plunger" which controls the progress of the film and reset the shutter.
This is most practical and surprisingly quickly, because it is operated with the left hand with his right hand while at the same time you can control the shot.

in 1956 to counter the success of the Kodak Retina, was equipped with interchangeable lenses, no longer available but only Skopar Ultron 50 / 2,8, and lost much of its charm.
Today is sought after by collectors especially in the version with the Ultron, who is considered one of the best goals ever produced for the 35mm format.
few "fanatics" dismantle and destroy these and other optical cameras Voigtlaender wonderful to apply them to their Leica as the surrender of this lens is superior to that of 50 mm of Wetzlar.

The name "Vitessa" was taken after a series of compact cameras, conventional and rather modest, with cartridge 126 produced in the late '60s.

The camera that I received describe in disastrous conditions.
was for a long time in a humid place, had several rusted parts inside, the external layers partially detached and damaged, the meter was not working and the shutter was jammed.
But the goal, the renowned Ultron 50 / 2, was in excellent condition, no scratches nor mildew. Also
shutter mechanisms, jammed by the long inactivity, were fortunately free of rust.
The chrome was all in all in excellent condition, with only a few flowers on the top cap.
The rangefinder was shabby, with a mirror off.
currency that was worth the trouble to buy it anyway and proceed with a radical restoration.

The restoration had to pass through a total dismantling of the camera and a thorough cleaning, lubrication and adjustment mechanisms.

In a short time the camera is almost completely dismantled and the parts are aligned on the table.


Dismantling fortunately shows that the internal parts are only eroded by rust.
The pad is in poor condition.
The rust did not compromise the components and springs, but will require a painstaking cleanup.


The bent tube that is visible in the upper right corner contains the command transmission to unlock the doors.
To minimize the friction transmission is implemented by means of steel balls 1.58 mm in diameter that run inside the tube.

The rangefinder is pretty shabby.

The small mirror that opens the image to the viewfinder is off, you need to paste it again and proceed to complete realignment.

The back is back again after the thorough cleaning.
tube is inserted in the piston controlled by the shutter button and on it is screwed to the rack that controls the shutter.
At the time of installation will also need to calibrate the position of the rack.

The assembly of the doors, the optical plate and the pantograph is a mechanical masterpiece.
must perform several functions:
- keep the plane perfectly parallel with the lens focal plane;
- must move along the axis of the lens to allow focusing;
- must close to protect the optics.


E 'achieved without saving materials with high strength steel and chromed to perfection.

E 'mounted on three springs that guarantee the absence of games.


The camera consists of four subsets:
- The cover, made from the shell and back, steel sheet assembled with extensive use of brazing with brass, chrome and satin
- The body of die aluminum;
- The group optical port;
- The Breech block - goal.

the loading mechanism is very complex.
A long piston descends on a long-pitch propeller along and transforms the motion of rotating parts which, through appropriate gear is transmitted to the spool of film advance. The shutter
reset mechanism is actuated by a series of delays related to the piston.
The many parts that compose it are realized with extreme care, in particular the elements of the plunger are made of hardened steel and polished to minimize friction.
course it is necessary to lubricate everything carefully before proceeding with the installation.


The bottom is ready to be mounted on the body, and the group is in its optical port.


Once the assembly controlling the operation of the arrangements and you can proceed with the optical unit.
The bellows is visible all'interrno body will be set along the optic.


course, the bolt assembly - optics was carefully dismantled, the Compur degreased thoroughly, lubricated and calibrated, and Ultron clean from dust and dirt on the lens surface.

A detail of the optical unit.
Note the socket for flash sync, whose contact is shown through the top plate of the lens holder.


After recording the reset mechanism and the shooting is also possible to fix the bellows.
Now you can proceed with the installation of the unit.
