Camera Talk

Hmm. So, finally got enough time and focus to mess with this. Pulled things apart, did not send the mainspring acoss the room. Tried to figure out where the tiny little spring went for about ten minutes. Not long enough to catch the spot that it was clearly intended to catch. Started moving things a...

Nice! Have never seen one of those. Glad it's still a worthy shooter in manual. Nicely done!

They're not too shabby for "meh"! And it proves the camera works. And the camera operator still knows how to frame an image and operate the device :D Next roll, some not-expired FP4 or Acros or similar? Or colour? Thanks, PC. Dunno - I'm just underwhelmed by them. Appreciate the positive ...

Are those you "meh" pictures?
you have raised the bar too much

Ah, thanks Pablo! I appreciate it.

Hi, all - Finally developed the first roll off the "new" Super Six. I will say, it's been two and a half years since I've developed film; took me a few minutes to recover the process from memory. Seemed to work, however. The pictures are meh. They're fine, and served to confirm the camera ...

Yeah, I know it EXISTS, but it’s been a l-o-n-g time since I’ve seen any come up for sale. Last one I had in hand was probably ten years ago. I was being hyperbolic, sorry.

That said, that’s one of the things I’m happy about with the Super Regent -has the Solinar. Need to adjust infinity on that yet…

I've been wondering if an ultrasonic cleaner would loosen that Agfa grease, but I haven't yet tried it. I'll have to try that, Mike. Like I said, I have the Super Memar with glued up everything. If I decide to keep it, I'll have to sonicate something to see if it helps. Okay, beauty shot: https://l...

Alright - update from nigh on four years ago: Few weeks ago, replaced the bellows with a burgundy set from Sandeha. Went in very nicely, required no trimming or adjustment. Very smooth install. Gave the Pliobond way more time than necessary to set. Very happy with the look. https://live.staticflickr...

the RF unit is not complicated, opening the top is, let me know if you crack that one I am hoping (without having the camera here with me to look at right now) that the adjustment I need to make can be done with the adjustment screw on the corner of the standard. I'll try that first, check the focu...

Today's update: Got ahead of myself and loaded this puppy and took it out for a walk in Lewes, DE. Worked great... Except, the rangefinder wouldn't go to infinity. Shot a few shots with the lens at the infinity limit, stopped all the way down, as one does. But, will be pulling the film, adjusting in...
