I need the little metal film sheaths for 6 x 9 or both the plate holder and little film sheath any for sale I am in Chicago IL. USA Thanks your developing video is perfect.

After you selected your 11 second exposure, with the dial under your right hand, you selected in the "red" part of the dial, a delay. Then when you fired the shutter, the delay worked fine, but since the exposure was still set for 11 seconds, I counted the time, and instead of approximately 11 seconds it was closer to 6 seconds. Perhaps the delay works much better when the exposure is within the settings of the dial by the left hand. So, when is it better to select B (bulb) instead of T (time)? By the way, as you have shown, cranking the dial under your right hand is more work. It appears you are tightening a spring mechanism. Then it makes more sense for the dial to be under the right hand for the strength of the right hand....if you're right handed. I have one, and it indeed needs a strong grip and some finger muscle to turn it.

What to do if the front dieals don't want to rotate? Mine are stuck.

Very interesting tip. Did you subsquently develop some film at the estimated time/temp and confirm that this technique provides the result you expect?

In a comment here I saw that you bought the START 66 from my home country, Bulgaria. By the way this camera apears in the beggining of the 2024 Bulgarian biographical film "Гунди - легенда за любовта" (Gundi - legenda za lyubovta or Gundi - a legend about love). This film is dedicated to the Bulgarian football player Georgi Asparuhov, who played for Levski Sofia. Gundi was his nickname. In the beggining of this film one of Gundi's friends shoots on a START 66, but you have to take into consideration that the scene takes place in 1959. The START 66 was made in the late 60s, which makes it unapropriate for the period. Many will not bat an eye for such a thing, but for me it drives me nuts to see the usage of wrong props in movies.

'feast your ears' hahah I love your enthusiasm

What is the focal range of this camera? How close can you get to a subject before losing focus?

Is there any latest version of this camera 📷 currently??

Did replacing the mirror brighten up the focusing screen at all? Laurie

Thank you for sharing

ما اسم هاذي الكاميرا

Man thank you, I just started fine art academy and they gave me one and said go in the wild and shoot. I was confused, thanks to you Im no longer confused

I have a pair if 1a's (circa 1961) which I got from my dad. Basically the same camera aside from a few cosmetic changes. Which was the problem... All of the subsequent cameras were based on the the original 1936 design, which was highly advanced for the day. By the late 50's and early 60's the Japanese modernized these designs and put most of the German camera makers out of business. Today, Exakta's are photographic dinosaurs, but a hell of a lot of fun to use if you know your way around completely manual cameras. Can't say I'd pick this as my first camera, but if you are an experienced photographer, these are a blast to use and you can get a decent kit on E-Bay relatively cheaply.

I recently got a Rolleiflex Automat X k4 1950. One thing you forgot to mention is that you can set the shutter speeds from B to 1/125 before or after cocking the shutter, but 1/500 can only be selected before cocking the shutter.😊

I have a rolleicord 1a also and it has a dark screen. whats the size of the mirror?

looks like a ICA delta 200 or ICA IDEAL 225 Im aware that ICA does the shutter mechanism but ive seen some handles say delta 200. but I could not look at the inside sticker(s). waiting to recieve my own soon.

Thanks for sharing , i bought a bulk loader with film in it , the film has no edge markings 😮 . This will really help me out 👊

The way you describe the sounds…I soooo agree!!! lol

Thanks

I got the same camera from a thrift store lately after some research I found out it was produced in 1937, It’s a masterpiece.

Just use a two bath developer like Barry Thronton's or even something like Diafine. Most film of any speed develop in about 4.5 to 5 minutes in each bath.

What film does it take?

Looking for a video of how to open this thing up. The shutter doesn't open and I'm having trouble getting inside just to look at it. I hear something loose inside when I shake it

Thanks. My cousin was an antique dealer. After he died his wife asked me to sell a bunch of things. This is one of the many cameras and camera accessories i have to go through. Ive seen a few other vids of this camera, but those aren't the striped ones. Now i know its the arc deco model. Thanks for that. But i dont think the shutter works. Its my understanding that if you flip the lever the shutter opens for a split second and you can see through it, but i cant see through this one. Does that mean the shutter doesn't work and is there any way it can be repaired by less than a novice? I see 4 small scews on the front, i am very tempted to go in, should i do it?

Thanks dude great video now my shutter works just brought at charity shop $30

Yours appears to be a very early example…

Thx. Your video is quite comprehensive

Subtitles in the Video please!!

Great method! Thank you, dude!

Did you put the gpx files for this route on the internet?

How could you reskin the camera? I'm looking for ones and all the ones in my price range are quite used, the leather doesn't look good for display. Thanks fronk

what is is title of the music

A wonderful video. The Meritar lens, at least the M42 version, has a filter thread not found in this Universe. I've purchased the correct size only to learn it doesn't work.

Hi, what are the chemicals that you used for this?

Someday I would live to have a good Moskva.

Thanks for good idea, I’m going to try this method.

У меня есть такая) купил в тунисе

Your video is instructive and really like you did it with your son, family… I’m sure you hooked somebody for all his or her life about vintage cameras. I have the same camera and I’ll drop a film in it this month and take pictures in the beautiful light of month of march here in Quebec City I really like the way you present your videos.

So what is the purpose of silo, you did not explain it well😊

do you still work with this camera? I just ordered mine on ebay for $400. Looks like a super good deal. Earlier I got a century 11x14, which required modifications to fit the film holder and adjust the focus plane with the ground glass.

the film for cartridge must be about 54cm I think.

I have the baby brother to your camera. A Voigtlander Avus 6.5x9 cm. I hope this method works as well with the smaller sheets. I also hope to tray develop using Arista Ortho 3.0 Film using a red safe light. I'm still getting the camera sorted out. Thanks for the info.

this camera is Welta from Dresden cca 1920

How r u doing man?

That is really nice! I'm currently looking for one of these. Where did you find it?

hi there! I found my grand father k1 612. Someone might tell me where I can find a transport knob button?

i wish I could find a video about my contessa nettle Suevia. It didn't have a name on the actual camera but I found an old paper advert and saw a photo of it in the advert

Thanks dude!

I found this camera in the trash so its my free camera 😅 always wanted to try this thing but l forgot it for a time , l usualy use phone or polaroid 😊

Thanks for recommending Mark Hansen. I sent one of my two Rolleiflexes to CA and was told that it's no repairable due to "liquid damage." I'm not doubting that, but I'm going to contact Mark about my second Relleiflex. Both of them were made in the early 50's and share the bayonet mount and view finder.
