Hi Guys haven´t posted for a long time.

Got this nice Super Ikonta 530/15 originally made to use 616 film.

Had to make a few mods to use fim 120.

The final image is 5.5cm x 10.7cm.

Love the tessar 12cm f4.5 uncoated.

It handles flare in such a way!

Check a few shots.

Teh VF is a bit tricky my comp went to the right!

This looks great!
Would you care to elaborate on what changes you made to allow the camera to use 120 film?

Spool extenders
strips of metal to reduce the film gate size.

How do you know how much to wind?
 
Hi Robert, thanks.

The mods were

1-Strips of cardboard to reduce the film gate in order to be able to use 120 film. The original image height is 6.5 cm, now it´s 5.5cm. It´s almost 1:2 ratio.

2-REduce the vf area to match new image size.

3-Buy 616 metal spools and reduce their inner height to accept 120 film.
The spacer made of 3d print weren´t good enough since their diameter is larger than the ones of the 616 spools and the film chamber is very tight.

4-finally i made a window in the back to align frame numbers and put an orange gel also had to drill the pressure plate and put ligh seals around the holes. Cancelled the older windows.
Using the original windows only allowed 4 shots, now i get 6.
I must select frame nr. 1,3,5,7,9 and 11.

I´d like to make some double exposure prevention mech...but it seems difficult. I´ll try something to remind me not to ruin the limited amounts of shots.
