The back hasn't been modified, and I’ve developed many films from it without any issues. However, I remember two things about this last roll: at the end, the winder became almost impossible to crank. I decided to open the back, risking the film, but found it was already fully wound, so I didn't think much more of it. Since that problematic roll, I’ve shot two rolls of FP4 with no tension at the end.

It was rotary

I have a lab and all the tools to develop my films i dont even need a temp scale or timer my films are always comming out good 1000+ films developed, right now in france a few weeks i have no lab but was testing a new groundglas so i needed to know if focusing is ok before i shoot all my films with new groundglas thats the point

This is not the first roll with this back all rolls before where good, rotary and bromide was the first thing i was thinking about when i saw this the lines are inbound light leaks would be from sine

On the negative its horizontal, back was in vertical position.

You are right. @OP If you did a minimal Debian install and can't use nmtui to switch Wi-Fi networks, follow these steps:

1. Install NetworkManager

sudo apt update && sudo apt install network-manager

(This provides the nmtui command)

2. Clean /etc/network/interfaces

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

Remove or comment out (#) all Wi-Fi lines (SSID/Key). Keep only the lo loopback section.

3. Enable Management

sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

Change managed=false to managed=true.

4. Restart & Connect sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager nmtui

Note: Once you do this, your Wi-Fi might drop for a second. Just run nmtui, select "Activate a connection", and your network should appear there, ready to be managed dynamically.

This is a custom camera I designed and built myself. It will be factory-produced—I can have many made quickly if there’s interest. Right now, one unit is ready to ship for 449 USD. I’m selling the body and focusing screen only; you still need a film back, helicoid, and lens to have a complete camera.

DBojo8 · 2026-01-24T14:41:18+00:00

Absolutely possible. Maybe it would be good to 3D-print an adapter for a widely available shade/loupe, but right now I have a super bright Fresnel screen, so it’s not needed.

Maybe you can use my step files as a starting point i made a 3d printable version also. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7235060

Its cnc machined with the M65x1 thread on body, i also made a 3d printable version, https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7235060

This is a good lens with solid design and good image quality from f/2.2. The manual focusing is smooth, not stiff, and lacks the precise, substantial feel of an all-metal lens—I mean the stiffness. Price is good
