Received my Narciss back from JW camera repair in Chicago. Put 3 rolls through it. It's working like a charm and smooth as can be .

This is the only place I have found of GemFlex pictures, such as they are. I was able to get the paper off of one roll. Brittle of course but in good enough condition to us as a template to cut another from 120 backing paper. I'll give it a try in the next few days.

Tetenal has both developer and fix in tablet form. I've not tried it myself but perhaps someone else here has.

Martin, thought you might like to see this. One metal spool came with the camera. Several plastic spools I tried didn’t really fit so made my own. Making one was enjoyable, making a dozen would be a pain.

Thanks. I enjoy and use Minox 8x11 mechanical cameras. The C and DSC in the collection are there simply because they are the first electronic and first digital sub miniatures Minox sold. I also have an original Bakelite enlarger which gets used fairly often.

Thank you.

My Minox collectio. Each CLA'd by DAG. Each used once a year or more.

Hello Ian Nice shot. Meter or eyball and what developer did you use?

Thank you both. Guess I'll just cross my fingers and hope to get the cassettes and not a refund.

Anyone ordered the aluminum cartridges from M.S. Hobbies? I placed an order when they first went up for pre-production sale. I haven't heard a word about them for several months. Emailed them about a week ago and have no reply to date.

It is an excellent camera, no complaints on focusing or even the 'light meter' once i got used to it. For me however it is awkward to use. tried it with have a dozen rolls and never got used to it. to many decades with the Minox, Edixa and Mec cameras I guess.

Try '3r camera repair' of New York years ago they repaired mine.

is Hapyucc a word or just a misunderstanding of how to convert Нарцисс?

Just processed film from a Narciss and an Edixa U. I like my Tower 16, mec 16 and various others but the minox still beats the others for both quality and as a constant companion. The Narciss and Edixa U are the only ones in decades to give even a little competition to my Minox II.

I have an external spring drive for the Robot Royal. On both the 24 and the 36s a full winding will advance a full 36 exposure roll. P.S. This new format is really to much to bother with any longer. Ya'll have a good life. Richard
