That - pardon me - "mortar" looks 3d-printed - isnt it? Size 6 x 24? Where to get the file? What kind'a lens is mounted?Half-frame is a state of mind.
My Pentax 6x7 is almost 1/4 frame in comparison....

Hmm. I have done many, many photos with my Minox B, C, EC, and IIIS cameras. The format is 8x11mm. Seems to me to be a full camera.Half-frame isn't a full camera, so it doesn't count.

Sick of my Canon IID scratching up my glasses and finally ordered an SB001(and new glasses) in great condition for $150. Pretty hyped!

So this old black paint MP made its way home with me. It needed rescuing by someone who will use it and it has the 0.85 viewfinder.
The Planar I’ve had for years and years and the hood demonstrates how they absorb shock when you drop the poor things!

This is what happens when you take in a stray! Looks like the new Rollei has a healthy appetite; let him eat all he wants, and he'll be your loyal companion for life.Some food for my Rolleiflex

Any idea if there's a fabric version of the Type C from Strapateer? Strapateer only seems to make leather but I'm curious if there is a braided nylon competitor.A couple of new straps - one from COOPH and the other from Strapateer, as I had a critical failure with one on my m7 last weekend where I was crossing a stream and broke - thankfully caught the camera before it hit the water and rocks

... likes film again.
Nokton 40mm f/1.4 classic MC. Never liked that lens so I wanted to give it a try and it was cheap enough from a seller on Amazon Japan.

Nice looking camera, they are supposed to be quite good. Have fun with it.All the talk about the new Pentax film camera made me curious about 35mm half frame so I ordered this less than a week ago from Japan. It arrived this afternoon, CLA'd and meter works. Looking forward to using it this weekend.

Konica C35 E&L (C35V)
FULL FRAME 35mm camera
Sharp lens/scale focus/program AE only
TERRIFIC travel camera
I paid $110 plus $15 shipping.
The one I purchased was fully serviced and film tested.
Seller in Japan seems to specialize in Konica C35 series;
i.e. he lists more than a dozen in various conditions.
eBay seller name is "Jelimino store".

Check out Hyperion Handmade Camera Strapsbut I'm curious if there is a braided nylon competitor.
They're in Greece. I have some of their round acrylic wrist straps, but they make braided acrylic and leather straps.
Prices and quality are good.

Sorry, missed this. Yes, it is 3d printed.That - pardon me - "mortar" looks 3d-printed - isnt it? Size 6 x 24? Where to get the file? What kind'a lens is mounted?
thank you![]()
I took the Kraken 612 and then modified the base body to clean up and to require less supports while printing, fixed a couple of issues, designed a new rear door, added heat inserts for lens mounting and altered the cones for a more secure attachment of the helicoid. Then expanded that to 617 and 624 and changed the lens mounting method for those and designed the lens cones for them. I also added an additional light trap for 624.
That Kraken 624 has a Fuji 105mm F8. I've also built other 624s with the Rodenstock 115mm, Kodak Wide Field Ekar 135mm and Schneider and Nikon 180mms. I just finished one with a Nikon 90mm f8 but haven't put a test roll through it yet.

Always Trying
I just got a spare ISO-Rapid cartridge, so I will push some 35mm into it and try the AGFA Color Agnar. So much fun for so little money.

I suppose if you’ve got a 3D printer you have to find something useful to do with it

Guess so, especially when you built the printer too.I suppose if you’ve got a 3D printer you have to find something useful to do with it

Sounds like you're not new to 3D drawing ;-)

Uh - 624 Format does not fit my scanner :-(

Once you have a printer, you'll find parts to print that you never thought of before.I suppose if you’ve got a 3D printer you have to find something useful to do with it
