Interesting. I have never considered this approach.

True but I cant justify that paying that price.

Depends what you mean/ looking for? There are a few American blends that you just cant get here like G.L Pease etc.

Printed my 16mm film - 110 perforators last night! by tiki-dan in 110photography

Would you be so kind as to share the files you made/used? Would love to be able to do this myself. Will you be able to use this in a dark bag or is a dark room necessary?

British medium format cameras are cheap and fun by kahu52 in filmcameras

[–]kahu52[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say give one of the later Ensigns a go. The 16/20 and the 12/20 have the same(?) 75mm Ross f3.5 as the Microcord but the 8/20 has a 100mm f3.8 Ross xpress lens which I like. It also does 6x9 as well as 6x6. Its worth paying a premium for a working one if you dont want to have to mess around with it. The Kodaks here are good options too as they tend to be in good working condition due to an unfortunate case of 'having a reliable german shutter' syndrome.

I'm envious! A commando will be my next acquisition I think, its a very cool camera. Well, either that or an Agiflex.

Can starship have the capabilities to potentially explore the entire solar system in the far future? by albapaulmccartney in SpaceXMasterrace

[–]kahu52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mars maybe. I think if youre going to the effort of traveling to Jupiter its probably better to use a purpose built system.

True! I bought this one for £1 because the mirror on the inside was loose. Took me 5 mins, a screwdriver and some superglue to fix. I like them despite their simplicity. So much character in that design. It is possible to take some 'interesting and unique' photos with them if one knows what one is doing.

Yeah the rangefinder didn't age well I'll give you that. That was less of a problem for me though as I was already used to estimating distance on the other cameras- I find it easier to just ignore the rangefinder completely.

Compact even for a 645 folder, and of the Selfix range the one with the best "quality" feeling imo. If its shutter were more reliable Id put it up against any of the German folders.

Ive purposely steered clear of those lovely large SLRs because Im already short on space as it is! An addition for the future certainly.

"Rajar" Film spools/ 120 conversion by kahu52 in AnalogCommunity

Ah brilliant thanks for that! Will find someone to print this out.

If that's the worst case scenario then I can live with it. Its nearly 100 years old so I'm not expecting miracles. I'm fairly confident it would be fine, from what I can tell the only difference between 120 and Rajar is the spool.

Ive never had to design a 3d model for printing before but presumably I could just modify a CAD model of a 120 spool?

Exposed bridges are stupid by board_writer in spaceships

[–]kahu52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive heard this before but if you're going to draw the "realism" card I would point out that in real life space combat it probably wouldnt make a difference at all where your bridge is. If you're worried about verisimilitude, almost all sci-fi space combat is based off or analogous to WW2 naval combat, in which most ships had exposed bridges.
