Great photos Andrew. I have a Medalist 1, a gift from my wife. Re-rolling 120 film onto a 620 spool took a learning curve and you need a third spool to do it well. For me a tripod is necessary. It's a fine camera.

Interesting- Please expand on your third spool re-rolling technique. My technique is to unroll the 120 roll into a loose roll in my hand. Then start tightly rolling it onto the 620 roll. Inevitably, at the end the tape won't be in the right position so you gently untape the film and re-tape it so that the film doesn't have a warp in it at the end. The re-taping is the riskiest part of the endeavour, otherwise pretty straightforward.Quote:

I roll onto a spare 620 spool, then re roll it onto a the 620 spool.
Doing it this way, you don't have to reposition the tape as the film has not moved
These are scans from prints from negs made in the San Juans of Colorado taken with my Medalist II which was modified by Bald Mountain to use 120 film directly. Unfortunately the prints are larger than my scanner so they are cut off some. The Medalists are great cameras.
Great! That is all I need -- Another camera to want!!Quote:

How many do you want? :)Quote:

I just keep seeing things on the forum that people are selling and I want one of those too! I have the bug, but I have a decent amount of will power.
