MathewDH Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 <p>I have been outfitting a very vintage Kodak camera to do some shooting with. It takes 620 film so I converted some 120 film spools to be the recieving spools, thus avoiding to have to respool 120 film. Then added the normal #13 Portrait Filter a couple years ago but recently obtained the vastly scarcer #13 Diffusion Portait Filter. I tend to be a purist and buy the original bits that companies sold as accessories and obtained a Kodak #1 Adjustable Lens Hood.</p> <p>One thing I noticed in the available filters for it was a #13 Pictorial Diffusion Disc. Does anyone have one of these so I can see what it looks like by posting a photo of it?</p> <p>A second question I have, will the current 120 film have numbers on the paper back that will line up with the red hole on the back?</p> <p>CHEERS...Mathew</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick_drawbridge Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 <p><strong>Mathew</strong>, I can't find a "#13" indicated anywhere, but here's a very early Kodak Pictorial Diffusion Disk. Not the easiest thing to photograph, but it might give you some idea.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_shriver Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 <p>I have a Series VI Kodak Pictorial Diffusion Disk, and it has about 5 concentric circular ribs cast into the glass.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MathewDH Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 <p>Hi everyone, thanks for the replies. My last message never showed up.</p> <p>But, I have found out the difference in the discs. The <em>Pictorial Diffusion Disk</em> alters the standard image taken by the camera. The <em>Portrait Diffusion Disk</em> has a 3/4 enlargement factor besides having the diffusion effect on an image.</p> <p>It took two years to find a #13 Portrait Diffusion Disk. I hope it if faster for a #13 Pictorial Diffusion Disk.</p> <p>The hunt is on.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MathewDH Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 <p>Whoa, very fast. I found one on a small site called Bonanza. Need to add a sky and color filters and I have them all.</p> <p>CHEERS...Mathew</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
