I had a 3A autograph. When film was no longer available i took the door off and fitted the back of a cheap plastic polaroid. All lighrt tight, I would take pics at f45 using a tripod and estimated exposure time. The lens was ziess in think, and some of the polaroid shots were incredibly sharp. Had a lot of fun
Awesome! I have had the pocket version for a year now and have had excellent results. I saw one of these box style at a flee market recently too, tempting to have another. My pocket kodak has the red bellows as well and it is in beautiful condition barring the old old old pleather/leather on the outside. Works like a charm and is my innagural forray into using 120 medium format film rolls with adapters, so happy 😊.
Hi Kay, have you shot any photographs with this camera? I've recently picked one up and as 112 film is no longer being produced I'm unsure how to shoot it. Do you know if using 4x5 film sheets would work? I like the larger format postcard images rather than a panoramic 120 effect. Thanks.
Firstly have you checked the bellows for pinhole light leaks? you need adapters to load 120 film and will have to make guide plates to support the narrower film if you want to keep the original aspect ratio you could make an aperture plate this would mean the guide numbers on the film are not correct to overcome this get the backing paper from a roll of 120 and practice advancing the 'film' by counting the number of turns needed be bit generous with the spacing
Hi there! 👋 I just received from ebay 122 to 120 film adapters. With them you could load the film and do 5 or 6 panoramic shots 14x6 cm. My calculation for counting shots - one full turn is about 2.3cm, so for one shot it must be 6 turns. Unfortunately the weather is rainy and I would wait for better conditions to shoot something. Will try ilford delta 3200 probably as first,. Also, very interesting to try color film. My camera has very clean lense. Also, you didn't mantion regarding lense cap that could be dismounted.
I just bought 3 of them on eBay a month or so ago. I am going to use them for glass dry plate. Fun cameras. I had to disassemble two of the shutters and clean them. One was in a smokers house for 100 years. Very Hard to get the smell out.
Thanks for such valuable information.

I picked up one of these last week! I'm so in love with this thing ❤
They are a thing of beauty. Does yours have the black or red bellows?
@@MrKayFisher its red!

For film, I am afraid you are out of luck. Sorry. Mine is only a decoration.

Very cool. Like to see a picture of all three together!
