Film Camera Week for Jan. 5
jason_withers replied to Mike Gammill's topic in Classic Manual Film Cameras
Nice! Have you used your signet yet? The Rollei RPX is a B&W negative film. -

Hi Chuck. Thanks! Yes, I believe the Ektar 44mm lens on the Signet is a 4 element Tessar type and I did add a yellow filter. I always think a yellow or red filter gives a nice result with B&W film. -

Film Camera Week for August 18

A few pictures from my trip to the southwest back in 2021. They were taken at Mono Lake in California. Kodak Signet 35 camera, Ektachrome E100 -
I don't think that any of the prisms in the Medalist had a silver backing (unlike actual mirrors in some cameras that do de-silver overtime). How did you clean them? Did you clean the inner prism that is behind that black accordion looking piece near the viewfinder, as well as those round glass pieces that are visible in the 1st photo in this thread?

Ran a couple rolls of Kodak Gold 200 through my Chevron back in October of last year and thought I'd share some of the results. Overall, I like how this film scans....it seems to have the same look as the previous Gold 200 film from years ago....warm, saturated colors that are great for fall leaves! Have others used this film in their MF cameras lately and liked the results? #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9

Old Photo Packaging and Ephemera (Post Yours)
jason_withers replied to John Seaman's topic in Classic Manual Film Cameras
I am! I have one as well and have even used it on occasion. It's a convenient holder to use for flashbulbs. You just spin the wheel on the front a few times and it generates enough power to fire an M2 bulb. No batteries needed! -

No, I haven’t attempted to take the chamber apart yet, but I’ll try that to see if anything looks amiss. Thanks! -

SouthJerseyMan: I used the Fomapan R100 film when I went on a trip to California. I really liked it and used the Dr5 developing service. You can see some of my results here. Spectra Film and Video may do B&W reversal processing still.

On Finding Signet 80 Lenses
jason_withers replied to Aurorabucky's topic in Classic Manual Film Cameras
Glad you got it working! I am not sure what Kodak was thinking with this particular "injection" film system. It doesn't seem to save any time over the traditional type where you just turn the takeup knob, and it seems way less reliable. Otherwise the lenses they made for this particular Signet camera and nice and well made, Luminized too! The problem my camera seems to be having isn't necessarily with the advancing system per se, its just that the film gets caught in that injection slot somewhere and it doesn't "curl" onto itself and make a spool in the chamber. When I took out a partially exposed film cassette before, the geared teeth had torn the sprocket holes on the film in one place because the film wasn't correctly traveling right to left for some reason. I think the geared teeth are advancing but something is preventing the film from moving correctly in the takeup chamber if that makes sense.
