Be cautious. Don't force anything. Wiggling things is a good start. Find some videos to watch of people opening them, etc, so you can really see how it's supposed to work. I nearly broke mine because I didn't understand how the release works to fold it back up. Expect the bellows to be rotted out. Sadly, it's very likely. Good luck!

Wow, thank you. :) I cannot say it was all easy. There were some parts that were hard to get apart, and you have to be careful you can put it back the same way it came apart. If you aren't too concerned about microcontrast and clinical sharpness you might be happy with the results. I find these old lenses have a really nice feel. Happy shooting!

Awesome! Happy photography!

You're so welcome! Good luck with your photos!

Sorry, no, I don't have one of those. Good luck!

Awesome to hear!

For the back retaining nut of the lens and shutter assembly, I used channel lock pliers to get it loose, then fingers were enough. For the lens itself, just my fingers.

If you have separate channels in hardware (i.e. separate XLR cables coming in) then I would think so, but I don't have experience with the Rodecaster.

Thank you for watching, and for the feedback. I guess I thought it was self-explanatory given the name of the device and the context of film scanning that I talked about, but your comment will help me make my videos better in future. Thank you.

Yw :)

Is the mechanism cocked all the way? Is the mirror itself stuck? I'm not sure what else to check. Sorry, wish I could be more help.

Glad I could help!

You're welcome!

It is a risk with these old cameras. Be careful and good luck!

Honestly, this was so faded it was really difficult to work with. You may be right. Thanks for watching. :)

Thanks for watching!

Thank you for the sub!

Hi, The measurements are in the description. Thanks for watching!

Glad it was helpful! Good luck, and thank you!

Awesome! Hope you take a bunch of cool photos with it. :)

Totally welcome

There is a holder for 120 film for the EFH. I haven't used it very much, because I'm mostly focused on 35mm slides right now. Some users on Reddit have mentioned problems with flatness and reflections when scanning 120 film. Worth some research, I guess. Thanks for watching!

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the Tascam Portacapture.

There's an affiliate link for the screwdriver set in the comments. Good luck!

I just tried it again on version 19, and it seems to still work exactly the same as I showed. Sorry, I'm not sure how to help, but I hope you've figured it out. Thanks for watching!

Sorry, no. Check out my other video where I do the restoration. I include info about how I got the new bellows and show my experience with the installation. I hope it inspires you to DIY it. Good luck!

Did you also press to release the two side arms?

There are 2 kinds of black and white film. The more common kind is panchromatic which is sensitive to most wavelengths including red light (think Ilford HP5+ and FP4+). The other kind is orthochromatic film (like Ilford Ortho Plus) which is sensitive only to blue and green light, but not red. This kind can take some exposure to red light without harm.

With roll film like this, you just keep advancing it until the whole spool is taken up. Then the paper backing will be covering the film so you can safely remove it. Unfortunately, there's no way to see, so you just have to keep turning the advance until you're sure you've gone far enough. There's no harm if you keep going. Once you remove the spool, stick the end tab down so it doesn't come loose.

As far as I know the original 116 film is not available anywhere, but you can use 120 film in this camera using a 116 to 120 film adapter (added a link to the description). 120 film is still readily available from many places that sell film. I use filmphotographystore.com, amazon, and bhphotovideo.com.

​​@@homestudioplace thanks dude if i got some question do you mind if I ask them to you ? And also so you sell camera online ?

You're always welcome to ask questions in the comments. No, I do not sell anything photographic, I'm just here trying to help.

@@homestudioplace thanks dude you re the goat you think you are

Good tip, thanks!

You do not need the extension tube. I just used it to get closer focus and greater magnification in this case. The lens works quite well as a normal 55mm lens on the adapter. Thanks for asking!

You're welcome!

Wishing you many more photos with your Pentax. :)

:)

Good luck! I hope you share the results. :)

Lol! I know what you mean!

inside could get a little flat black paint on the white screws, Thanks for the show and tell. Great job. do mine next?

Good idea, thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks for watching and commenting!

Glad to hear it!

I hope you do it. Good luck!

Good luck!

On either the media or edit tabs (at the bottom) you should be able to open your shortcut/context menu (right-click on PC) and see an option for "new fusion composition." If it's not there, I'm not sure why that would be.

Awesome, thank you!

Thanks!

Glad it helped!

I appreciate that!

I would guess it would, but I can't say for sure.

I haven't ever had my hands on a No. 1, but they seem to be very similar, so I expect so. My bellows were the same; shedding black dust at a touch. It was a little nerve wracking, but worth it to me. Measure carefully.

Lucky I found a document that had bellow codes for older bellows from repair shops, they seem to be in nice condition. Thanks for the advice in the video!

Update, ive taken out the bellows but I have yet to take out the rectangular peice.
