Minh, I'm sure you're having fun. Even so, why not just shoot 4x5? You'll get better cropping possibilities, easier framing, the opportunity to focus for each shot, ...

Mihn: I love see-ing what you can create from some of those older cameras, you talk about wide angle , those are great in my book : Thanks a lot ;Lauren

I'm still learning 4x5 and have no dark room yet. step by step improving and go larger.

 

Lauren

 

It's on its way, couple week properly. Thanks

[doug grosjean]

Very nice.

 

The photos look like Tucson or Los Angeles..? Ironhorse Motorcycles is a place I recall in Tucson, but there may be more than one place with the same name.

I would like to see this done with a Speed Graphic or some other camera with a curtain shutter that can be timed with the rotation of the camera and make real panoramic views. Now that would be nice.

[patrick j dempsey]

Cliff, I've heard that some TLRs can be mounted sideways on the film advance and the camera can be rotated so that the film advances as it rotates. All one needs then is some kind of mask either inside or perhaps even over the lens to make the exposure be a narrow slit. It would probably be possible to do this with an old Kodak box camera too.

Wow !

[patrick j dempsey]

Minh, I love that first shot, it really fits the format well! The camera looks beautiful, you are really becoming proficcient with these!

That Iron horses store is just couple blocks where I live in Canoga park, Los Angeles, California.

I think we can make a MF stereo camera from a 616 Kodak after looking at your site.

 

Gene and Patrik

 

Thanks a lot brothers.

Great panos here and good color. I like the kayaking landscape a lot.

Thanks for posting Minh.

[tony_lockerbie]

Wow, that's wide! Keep up the good work and I look forward to the next one.

That is interesting!

How to make a 135 film inside a 120 camera?

[minhnguyen9113]

Thanks Ralf

 

Tony. Thanks for your support, the next one coming soon

 

Kevin. You have to make a rewinding shaft and mask the opening to 24x108mm, the lens make the camera work like a semi wide angle, you can mount a 65mm wide angle lens on it to make it really wide angle.

Minh,

 

Wow Minh what an inspiration. I can imagine the mask and the lens.

How do calculate the advance? Is there focus or is this set to infinity? or asssuming the angle is always infinity. I guess you'Re getting experience in how to mount the lens etc? Trade Secrets!!

I just love these photos and that one vertical shot .. really shows

what this can do!!

Being 35mm is also ..say more comfortable as the converted to 120

format!

 

Keep it coming !!

 

Thanks

This camera uses both film 120 and 135. When using 135 I have to install a winding shaft and a mask, when using 120 I have to remove the mask and the winding shaft, the format is 54x108mm. Focus by front lens cell from 5ft to infinitive. Advance by counting 1st 3 turns, and the next one is less by 1/8 of a turn. A 24roll can get 7 pictures. Mounting the lens is difficult but I get use to it. Thanks for asking
