Just found this forum. Think I'll hang around and try and learn something new.
I'm a camera/photo fanatic. When I'm not repairing old ones, I'm shooting them.

Hi David,

Welcome to this special community. We really like people to post their older pictures as it lets us celebrate and re-explore film photography. There's such a lot to value and enjoy.

However, whatever your digital camera is, we're with you. Just from your repairing comment, it might be that you have boxes of prints!

I convert old box and folder cameras to 120. Repair RF cameras, mainly Yashica, Canonet, and Konica.
Some folks may know me as Greyhoundman from other forums.
Most of my prints are from old cameras, but not old in years. :)

Hi David,

These two prints - I can't tell if you took them yesterday, or fifty years ago. Have you some more information you can give?


Best wishes,

Ray

The camera was a Kodak 2 box that had been converted from 116 to 120 film. I added the round mask and reworked the shutter for 1/50 second.
Film was Fomapan 100, fstop16, souped in D76-1:1.

I've done more of the cameras with 6X11cm and oval masks.
