Where to go for modifications

[PHAROLDO]

Hello everybody!

First of all hope everybody is safe and with good health during this pandemic!


I would like to know where in the world i can go for good quality camera modifications!

I have some projects i would like to get realized but cant find anybody that would do it!

Some of the projects are:

Polaroid 110b with own lens for shooting 4x5 and 6x12 (with frame lines)

Converting rollei 50mm f2.8, 80mm f2.0 and 180mm f2.8 so they can be used with rangefinder on the linhof press 70

Pentax 67II with Hasselblad V mount

And many more!

Can somebody help me out with a specialist that could do this kind of stuff?
Please help, cant get this ideas out of my head!

All the best!

There used to be several places that would do the Polaroid 110-to-4x5 conversion, and even one that would sell you a kit for DIY. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3969849

As to the 67II-to-Hasselblad, you should be able to find an adapter on eBay.

Don't know what to say about the Rollie conversions, as I have no experience with Linhof cameras, but again you might find an adapter.

You might want to check the film-plane to lens-flange distances on these pairings. If that distance is larger on the desired camera than on the donor camera, then the donor lens won't focus all the way to infinity. As mentioned, the 4x5 Polaroid 110 has been done, so that's feasible! 🙂

Talk to places like Blue Moon Camera, SK Grimes. Glass Key in San Francisco has some Polaroid nuts. Most likely it's going to be just asking the right person who knows someone.
