Thanks for sharing. I found a half exposed film in my Pentax 645 and need to take out that film to develop. It stay in camera about 10y and i have to remember how to take out mid revinded roll from holder in dark room.

Hi Andrew, thanks for your kind words, looking forward to getting outside and taking pictures again, hope all is well with you and yours😷

Happy to see you back. Had me worried to be honest. In the mean time here in Australia now, fixed up a few new camera and 3! Enlargers. Looking forward on the video of this pentax. We have been able to go outside here so took pictures of empty beaches and empty streets. Bought a Linhoff press the other day, wouldn't mind a video of a 4x5 camera if you have any of those. Stay safe!!

Hi, thanks, it's great to be back making films, sounds like you have been busy, Pentax 645 videos to come, was hoping to get out with it today but it's rained all day, am looking to get a Crown/Speed graphic when I can find good one at a fair price, not shot large format yet, it tends to be 6*6 on medium format, am looking to add to my Pentax 67 collection, I have finders and lenses but alas no body at the moment, stay tuned, a lot more to come....

I don't tear off sealed band until film is in its spool less issues or chance of it unraveling or dropped. Many moons on location shoot not mindful assistants made mistakes

It does not matter film back origin. Pentax is mad in Japan where else would we trust for it to be produce. Your latching it did not connect that's all smooth is finest
