35mm and Great Wall (Chang Cheng) SLR?

[dave_f2]

I've recently snagged a vintage Great Wall DF2 from a collector in Beijing. It

came with a set of 6x4.5 and 135 adapters. It has the original film spools

which also include a backing paper for 135 film that also counts frames through

the little window.

 

 

Since this camera (and everything included with it) is around 30 years old, I

don't want to bother with using the original film counter paper as I would

likely just end up damaging and having to find another way to count frame. My

question is what is the best way to duplicate the current paper or perhaps there

is another way to count frames (a la lomo turn counting?).

 

 

Right now the only thing I've thought of is cutting down the backing paper from

a roll of 120 and tracing over where the frames should be. Anyone have any

other ideas?

I grow up with ?Great Wall DF2?. These camera sucks with bad mechanical and lousy lens. Why bother to use it? (you may ask anyone knows this camera) If you want restore it for antique then it?s a different story.
