Very good video and super nice camera. Let's not forget about that light meter!

Well that was pretty cool. I have a couple old folders I haven’t shot with yet and your roll and count technique will come in handy. As a motorcyclist, I recognized the bike immediately, as a friend used to have a CX 650 back in the late 80s. New subscriber. P.S. we don’t admit to messing up the horizon, calling it wonky. The “official” photographic term is “Dutch Angle” or “Dutch Tilt”. Yeah. I meant to do that. LOL. Living in Canada, I know all about tingly cold painful fingers. They make gloves where the thumb and first finger can be opened, pulled back and held with a small magnet to allow finger dexterity. Perfect for cold weather photography

Brent Buchner Hey Brent, nice to meet ya. I’ve definitely seen gloves like that for photography just haven’t invested in them yet. I did just git some cold weather gloves for riding the CX500. That was a must. ❄️

I have two of those. They are part of my standard camera setup when I'm out for a photo shoot and occupy one of the bags on my wheelchair. One is loaded with b&w film, the other with color. The film spacing is just a matter of some little experimentation, I get four pics out of a roll of 120. I use these cameras for panorama shots, obviously, landscapes, architecture and cityscapes, but mostly for full body portraits. As with most old professional grade cameras, they demand discipline and accuracy when using them, but when you are up to that, they will produce remarkable pictures.

Nice! Hope you’ve used it and others since as these are lovely cameras, like the Victorian era they made everything look good as well as function, unlike today! DG New Forest U.K.

I found adapters on thingaverse and paid a friend to print 8 of them. But then again, I'm only going 116 to 120. Have not got the negatives back on my Rainbow and just snagged a No. 2A Primo today. They both have good, probably replaced, bellows. Can't wait to run a roll through the Primo and see how the Rainbow did. Great video.

Good job on this review. Well shot and edited. I shoot Aloy of medium format and have been looking into folding types for easy travel

Yea, I have one of those myself, slit some aero film Fuji and it takes a post card size images. Or you can single shoot on photo paper. Had to modify a tank and a scanner mask. Complicated all round, but fun and unusual to shoot.

Hey do you happen to have instructions on how to go about using aerofilm or photo paper with this type of camera?

@petepictures 3 жыл бұрын

@@sarhelymorales7142 No, I just made some wooden plank with the right size, to slit the wide film and load it onto 122 spool. Long and tedious process

Here's what I have for frame spacing on the 120 film. Load it up and roll it until the arrow lines up with the right edge of the opening. Then it's 7 1/2 turns to frame one, three full turns to frame 2, three more to frame 3, three more to frame 4 and that's about the limit to the number of full frame shots on a roll. I'm currently trying to make some sort of rail system to keep the film flat across the film plane and something to mount to the inside back cover to press against the film to keep it there. Wish me luck. :)

Johnny Virgil sounds good! Definitely let me know how the rail system turns out. Best of luck! 👍🏼

Hey, it's fun and some have even landed award winning photos with these antique cameras. What I like about them is mostly subjective in nature. I only like art that has a story. To me, photos taken through early cameras somehow have a story. Maybe it's because they're imperfect. I can identify with that.

Very enjoyable video as l have just bought a similar model, a Kodak 3-A model B2 for £5! I could not resist it at that price. I have used many old roll film cameras in the past but never this big size. All seems to be working and l might try out a roll. But this model l have has a lens vertical and horizontal adjustment. I imagine for distortion correction like big plate cameras? But how is one to control this with only the view finder, as your model? I will later put frosted glass over the back to focus on and use a back-out hood to see how the image will change.

Just bought my own Autographic Special, did a first impression on my channel. Unbelievably well made and still works after 100 years. Since this video, have you used the camera she panorama shots, and what's your take on it? Would love to see a follow up! Edit: is there a way to keep the front standard from sliding? My camera locking mechanism seems to have failed. Jason

I inherited one from my aunt after she passed. It is a "No. 3A folding pocket kodak model b-5" S/N 26486" that was made in Toronto, Canada. I have been trying to figure out when it was made and which location in Toronto that it was made in? Any site that you can direct me to to answer my question? Thanx!
