Not RF I know, seeking a break from my efforts to get a good 6x9 into shape, I saw this and had to have one.
An English made Ensign Selfix 1620. This one has the four element Ross Xpress lens for 4 1/2 x 6 on 120 film.
I've just finished cleaning up the shutter and lenses. It's now loaded and has been toasting in daylight on the windowsill on frame no1 as a check for light ingress. I will shoot off the remainder when I next get out.
It's very dinky, but quite heavy. Very nicely made, all very accessible and serviceable.
I had one a couple of years ago, but was disappointed by poor results, due to sloppy lens board supports.
Looking forward to developing the test film.
One thing though, isn't it a pain trying to get the threaded ring back onto the lens and then tightened? Any tips on going about this?
