I used a black T-shirt as my dark cloth and a spare enlarger 50/4 as my loupe for focusing. I’ll see if I can get replacements on film holders, but I’ll probably accept the camera as-is.Ģ) I held off on all the accessories I thought I’d need, partly because everything else tapped me out, but also because I wanted to make sure I actually needed the stuff before spending. One was so rough I would have graded it “ugly”.
The 8 film holders were sold as “excellent” and two have cracked dark slides. The focus is sticky like the old lube is drying up. The “bargain” camera looks well worn (though fully functional.). Some of this gear seems on the opposite side. Though I did learn a few things.ġ) with a lot of other things, KEH has always graded conservatively, and “bargain” usually meant pretty darn good. By luck, they were both delivered today with enough time for me to run through everything and take and develop 4 test shots to make sure I’m doing everything correctly.Įverything was a success, mostly. The second was with Stearman for the SP-445 developing tank and a box of Fomapan 100. On with KEH for a “bargain” condition Linhof Technika IV, 8 film holders, a Schneider Symmar-S 150/5.6, and a Schneider Symmar 210/5.6.
There are no places locally to buy cameras either, so this happened through lots of research online and some Hail Marys. I’ve been hemming and hawing for a couple of years but never pulled the trigger. Ive never shot large format before, just roll film.
