Yeah, annoyingly. I have changed over the bellows but this is the last bit. It doesn't have any leather and looks bad but I wanted to see if I could revive it. Pickling veg is probably safer than surfing eBay/Gumtree though.

Read somewhere about suitable materials for a red window, really anything red will do, piece of Lego?

Kenzie · 12-02-17, 01:34 PM

No, I need to be able to see through it. Was thinking of the red sweet wrapping, or maybe rob one off an old camera. Being drawn to trying Instax cameras. Its cheaper than Polaroid/Impossible but damn the cameras are ugly!

Well the Bessa is a no go. Found a red window but just found a hole in the bellows. Have taken the lens off and will use it for a project I have in mind. Will try and find a small folder to put the Voigtar lens on.

Too right you are

Guilt? For me I bagged the set of plates for the Certo that has the 645 mask, the other set inc. the focusing screen is up tonight. I'm off again to Madrid next week for one last time (I certainly hope so), but I don't think there is time for much loafing around. Weather has picked up there though, 16 and dry.

Sorry to encourage you Yoko but 361901023844. If I could find some liquid electrical tape I might be able to revive the Bessa as a last ditch attempt.
Bring some good weather back with you!

I love Madrid but it never encourages sobriety in me.
I'll give the case a miss Kenzie. I tend to hang the cameras round my neck or put them in a big pocket.... in the old days, I used Bren gun pouches. Succumbed today to the temptation of a Zorki 4....

Kenzie · 12-02-17, 09:21 PM

Rule number one of Zorki ownership... Always co-ck the shutter before changing the film speed or you will kill it. Did you get a 4 or a 4k? Only shot one roll with my 4:
