minhnguyen9113 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I mount a Polaroid lens 127mm made by Rodenstock on a Kodak 3A and here are some pictures taken at Santa Monica beach pier and The Arlington West. <p> <img src="http://i32.tinypic.com/2wqb9s4.jpg"> <p> <img src="http://i32.tinypic.com/2q1b21z.jpg"> <p> <img src="http://i31.tinypic.com/t5mww4.jpg"> <p> <img src="http://i29.tinypic.com/2w1scxj.jpg"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffmanley Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 That's nice. Did you switch the whole shutter or just fit the lens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony_lockerbie Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Wow Minh, these are great. You must get some strange looks as you wield these old beasts around! Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minhnguyen9113 Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 Cliff, I mount the whole unit shutter and lens, the distance scale to the 3A, look through the open lens with ground glass to set focus, make sure the drop-bed would not restrict the view. The lens works as a semi-angle and get the whole view without distort. Luis, thanks. Have you got my email. Tony, yours 3A will be on its way to Gene, it looks cool. Yes I received questions, strange and weird looks, some young people interesting watched the ease of working with the camera with friendly attitudes. They compared their phone cameras to the 3A and laughed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulh Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Great stuff Minh. I must try some colour film in my modified 2C now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minhnguyen9113 Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 PC, try a roll color film and see the Beauty work, you love it. The more I involve with them the more I love the very simple to use them + F16 rule strictly applied and that's all. The technician at the lab told me these films can be blown up to 24x60 easy with very sharp details, the Rodenstock 127mm did a good job.

minhnguyen9113 Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 Chuck, the ground glass is used at the final step to set infinitive and close focus of the camera before going out taking pictures. You compose the pictures by the original flip-over view-finder or you can add an extra view-finder. There's no need to use ground glass if you do not change lens.
