Re: Vintage film cameras
Rained all day here. I didn't even go out of the door. Tidied the FX-D up a bit and replaced the hinge seals and mirror bumper. It looks good to go now.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Been snowing/sleeting here, and was at work this morning. Had to drive out to Felixstowe and help my wife who picked up a screw in the tyre of her MR2.

Re: Vintage film cameras
I drove round and round in a car. It was crap. The end.

Re: Vintage film cameras
A pertinent question, alas with no relation to photography. Final look at stone counters for our new kitchen, stools for this, mattress for my dad, also some furniture, finally home, but all rounded off with a terrifyingly hot curry and for added roulette points I pounded a few liquorice allsorts afterwards.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Right, I have the battered Bessa in a condition where I can use it. Only thing missing is the red window. Any suggestions?

Re: Vintage film cameras
Sorry, forgot you haven't done medium format yet. On older cameras you have to look through a small red window to wind the film to the next number. Not like these spangly new cameras where the advance auto stops at the next frame. Without the window I could fog the film if I open the window cover.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Ah, I got it. I can remember winding films on by number when I was a kid.
Is the window missing on the Bessa? Raining again. Sad that I am, I'll pass the next couple of hours pickling vegetables. Last edited by yokohama; 12-02-17 at 12:45 PM. |
