Fotoman Darkslide Module
Changing a lens on a Fotoman in mid-roll without wasting film is not easy.
Working with a darkbag in hot sun or pouring rain is a awkward, to say the least.
Here's a home made darkslide module for my Fotoman 617...
I can change between a Schneider 80mm SS XL or a Fujinon 150 5.6 anytime I like.
It takes me about 30 seconds, out in bright sun or pouring rain.
No grumbling, No wasted film...
On a different note; I masked the camera for a 615 negative size, which I like better than 617.
(615 negatives can be enlarged on 4x5 enlargers).
Here's how I did it...
