I have a couple of questions, hope they aren't too strange. Should the film emulsion face the plastic thread, or does orientation not matter? Is it okay to pour the chemicals in the light (of course, when the tank is closed)? Thank you in advance for your answer!
@yodayounglingАй бұрын
The film can face either direction, but it’s easier if the emulation faces the inside of the spiral. As this is the natural curve of the film, you won’t have to fight it as much. Once the lid is closed, it is light tight, and you can pour all your chemicals in and out with the lights on.

also that ground glass idea isn't new, the arcbody and flexbody had this system for the 120 backs (12-on\A-12) so that you could apply movements, focus etc. with the back off, and then like a monorail view camera, the film then goes in, and you shoot. (there was a unique feature of this, there was a slot in this gg frame, which allowed for "perspective correction slides" to be inserted, which if tilted 10/15/20 deg. would nullify the distortion, so one could still focus normally; this also even allowed the regular prism and hood to be attached).
@andyvan5692 Жыл бұрын
the focus issue is NORMAL, the Hassy PB from John of "hassleblad the expert" KZbin channel, and even the Lomography Lomograflok back {for 4x5" film cameras} has some kind of spacer to account for this back focus (physics, the cartridge is inside a shell, of which the edges are thick, and the shell itself is a few mm thick), this is the reason the focus is off, the distance means the film is NOT on designed in focus plane with the camera manufacturers, who assume a certain kind of film inserted into it, hence a set focus (the shims in a lens mount, for eg. are for this purpose too). In the V systems case a spacer shim (focus mask) is inserted above or below the "ground glass" focus screen, this calibrates the focus, so the lens tube setting is correct!-DON'T adjust the lens shims or mounting flange spacers , THEY are fine, for normal 120 backs!, just this stock is further back, so get the masks installed, but paint some visible part of it, so when using 120 you don't forget to remove it.

I am not sure if my experience can help. I had been in shutter jam trouble since I attached HB unit and unable to remove for 3 months. But I found KZbin video which solve shutter jam by push down film ejection hook to bottom. It helped to solve shutter jam. 2ndly, I fire and wind crank and attempted to remove. It does not work. Fire shutter, then try to remove( do not wind crank!) Hope you can remove unit.

Any experience with the fact that it doesn’t eject the first slide?
@yodayoungling Жыл бұрын
yep i had trouble with that once, are you trying with Mini or Square? i oddly found it easier with square. Be sure to remove the metal dark slide, Try slow and steady presure, and push the winding knob slightly inwards. at least with mine, the hardest part was getting the instax dark slide removed. after that the pictures came out fine. Also check if the hook in the hasselback is getting caught on the "cloth tape" behind it (i pulled off the tape on mine.) good luck!
@MattiusGlutius Жыл бұрын
Just got the Nons. The side ejection is the only negative as you mentioned. After watching your video it is a small price to pay for accurate focus. I was messing around and shooting indoors f4 at shutter speed 1/15 and the shots are sharp and nail focus. Everyone watching should go with the cheaper option in the nons back.

If I had the choice today, I would probably also go for one of the other backs, and a lot of people have recommended the NONS. but as I said in the video, this is about making the most out of what we got with the Hasselback. (make some lemonade with that lemon?)

@yodayoungling Жыл бұрын
Hmm, not sure, I have no experience with the FC. Maybe the firing pin behaves differently on your model? The firing pin is the only thing that actually prevents the back from being removed. It has to be flush with the body to attach or remove the back.

You're brilliant, thank you! I got mine hardly dismounted again. My BF had to use force, so I won't touch it soon enough again, still, I like the idea. And ja, communication was a disaster. They never answered. I don't have a problem with project lasting long, but I have a problem with bad communication. I will try to make myself such a spacer. Also I think it's bit of a problem, that there's no clue of where to find a manual or whatsoever. It feels a bit, like they wanted to get rid of what was a great idea and still could be - and ja, maybe making such a spacer a delivering such one to the backers would solve some disharmony....

The focus shift can be marked on each lens like the IR mark, and then you don't need to use a table. A 2mm shift has the same amount of rotation on the lens helical. But a screen spacer is a nicer solution.
