Default Re: Vintage film cameras

Have fun! I don't know about the metal tube type but with 6x9 (and probably 6x6 too) bellows-type folding cameras it's good practice to pop the lens out before winding on, as the suction of the bellows extending can pull on the film and bring it forward of the focal plane.

If you find any light leaks around the tube in its extended position you can just put a hair bobble on the tube and slide it back against the body when the lens is extended.
