Re: Vintage film cameras
Cool Panzers.
Did the shots you took with the X700 come out OK? |

Re: Vintage film cameras
Kind of....
I would say that the focus and the shutter were pretty spot on with the Perkeo. Might have a light leak on the 500G though

Re: Vintage film cameras
I see what you mean. That does look like a shutter curtain problem.
Nice colour rendition on those Perkeo shots. The seals on the Ricoh are a pain to do, a full surround job. I found these useful for the foam sizes and layout. http://www.ukcamera.com/collect/ricoh_reseal.html https://www.lomography.com/magazine/...-damaged-seals |

Re: Vintage film cameras
Thanks for the heads up. I have some foam here so will give it a go. Will likely have to do the the other Ricoh as well.

Re: Vintage film cameras
I've some that need doing too, including the MG1, but will probably wait until I get round to putting a film in them.

Re: Vintage film cameras
I have put the 500G somewhere so will fix it when I can find it! Got some self adhesive foam that I can use. The second link you posted up has measurements on which is helpful.

Re: Vintage film cameras
The measurements helped. Trickiest bit is going around the viewfinder window.
I flipped the lid off a Himatic 9 last night and cleaned out a murky rangefinder. I think that's next in the film queue. |

Re: Vintage film cameras
Going to have to re-seal the 500G, pretty poor job and no wonder it leaks! Don't think I did this one. Have ordered some 1mm open cell foam.

Re: Vintage film cameras
A fairly glowing review of the Poundland/Agfa film on casualphotofile https://www.casualphotophile.com/201...-film-profile/
Along with a worrying comment that Poundland are going to stop stocking it. I might have to get a few more rolls in! |

Re: Vintage film cameras
We still sell plenty of film in Jessops. It won't be as cheap as Poundland though
