Camera hacks

[farlymac]

Guilty as charged! Well, sort of. I stick to cheap and available cameras with simple to fix needs. I did however, to my great chagrin, mess up a Kodak Tourist 6X9 folder with a nice 105mm f4.5 Anaston lens. Ruined it trying to remove the center lens element, now it's a pinhole body. But, this weekend at a local second hand store I found a replacement that is working fine. Now I got to find some time to sit in the dark and respool some 120 on to 620 spools.

If you find one with a crappy body, but a good lens, you can always swap out the entire lens/shutter assembly to put on the original body you have, as it is a bayonet mount. And if it's an upgrade from the one you have, the film door is swappable also.
