Thanks Guys,

a bit more info, the 110 Polaroid I've used has the flip up viewfinder and wire frame which I've kept. Only issue with that setup is that it isn't wide enough for the 150mm on 6 x 17,...

Hi Guys,

I've built a 6 x 17 using a Polaroid 110 as the chassis. I'll do a write up once I've got a few details finished.

Anyway just looking for any experience with the various viewfinders -...

Copal shutter - They do that

I actually just got a lens from the same seller, Fujinon 150 CM W, copal shutter - it does the same thing

Hi Guys,

Impulse buy on ebay I got an APO Ronar 480 f9 thikng it would be a direct fit into a Copal #3 shutter.

I did do some research beforehand and there are one fitted to a copal #3.

If you don't have a micrometer, in this case a depth Micrometer, then the film is exactly 3/16" or 4.74mm from the outside face of the holder.
So the ground glass should be recessed by precisely the...

Thanks Jim, much appreciated

I did a search for pneumatic cloth and came up trumps with a local business. I'm contacting them tomorrow to see where it leads

Hi Lachlan

Just did some research on neoprene, I haven't yet located anything thin enough.

I can't be the only person to try and make their own camera bellows in Australia can I?

Hey Guys,

I'm making a replacement bellows for a different polaroid 110 conversion - I don't want to reveal it till I've got it done - very close now

Just a quick word of caution, methyl alcohol can attack some plastics and remove plasticisers leading to crazing.

It's a polar solvent, thus it's easily mixed with water -miscible.

Does anyone know of a source for suitable (opaque) bellows material in Australia, Sydney specifically.

I got fancied once, unwantedly so, by a large hairy man - also called bears, whilst walking past a gay bar once

Does that count?

Well make it easy on yourself and don't lick the film clean unless you're having trouble with your bowel movements

peace out

Yep that's an understandable confusion as kerosone is also parrafin, though kerosone doesn't go under that name in Australia.
It' parrafin BP (British Pharma - pharmaceutical grade) that you want,...

For wet mounting the pro drum scanner services use Parrafin, yep the stuff you get at the supermarket or chemist. It isn't a substitute - it's the real stuff
For cleanup - film/scanner glass etc get...

Hi Sorin,

I know this partially off topic, and it's great to see that you're generating income with the bellows and ground glass.

Have you considered making backs and ground glass holders in...

What is the sensitivity like?

I.E is it orthochromatic so that it can be used under a red safelight?

Thanks

I actually used to use Pagemaker on a PC, but the workflow to generate PDF's is almost identical to what you describe. No real reason for it to be otherwise.

That's a good point, and it would work fine mounted straight - but the copal 1 shutter doesn't fit cleanly on the polaroid because of the struts that hold the front standard.

I'd love to know any details you could share on the Toyo RB67. I used to have a Mamiya camera front mount attached Linhof Technika board, but my shutter cocking mechanism wasn't at all good.
