pete_loshin3 Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 My Perkeo II, rehabbed by "certo6" last year, has been a frequent companion ever since. I've been very happy with the results, though lately it's developed a bellows leak.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lex_jenkins Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Try some acrylic "enamel" from a craft/hobby store. The stuff is tough and quite flexible. It's what I used to seal the pinhole leaks in my Isolette bellows. Might take two or three coats spaced several hours or a day between. Comes in all colors. The gloss formula probably matches most bellows best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew in Austin Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Try non-dimensional fabric paint from an Arts & Craft store for your light leak. Just coat the inner corners of the bellows with fine tip brush. Allow to dry for a couple of days. I really like the composition of the first photo. You captured the moment quite well.

connealy Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Thanks for posting the very nice pictures, and for motivating me to do a bit of research on the Perkeo. Looks like a great camera; I was struck by how closely it resembles the little Vito II. Appears to have the same shutter, too, which is hard to service, so having <a href="www.foldingcamerasrestoration.com">Jurgen Kreckel</a> available for restoration is a real plus.

lex_jenkins Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 I think Andrew and I are describing the same stuff. My bottles are for fabrics, leather and various flexible media. It dries to the same consistency as a logo on a t-shirt. Pretty tough and crack-resistant. Anybody got any favorite brands that seem to last a long time?

antjam65 Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 I've got some Perkeo II pics up on my home page at:<p> http://www.geocities.com/antjam65/PerkeoII.html <p>Please check them out and poke around the site - I think I'm the only one who's seen it so far! <p>Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_goldfarb Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Great shots, Anthony. What are you developing your Delta 3200 in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antjam65 Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Whoa - someone looked at my site! Thanks, David.I've been using D-76 because a small store down the street stocks it, but it's not Ilford's recommendation for best quality or finest grain (Microphen?). I agitate pretty gently... The thinner negs have a lot more grain than when I can give it enough light, of course, but I'm surprised at how smooth that film can be at 3200. Unfortunately, 120 size Delta 3200 is hard to find here in Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_goldfarb Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 The tonality is nice. I don't often shoot Delta 3200 (usually just for 35mm pinhole shots), but I might try it for low light with the Perkeo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connealy Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 Anthony, <br> Very impressive collection of photos and cameras. I've been hoping to get out to do some tmax at 3200 with my Super Ikonta, so your example may just push me over the edge this weekend. <br> Have to say I always wince a bit at seeing a url which includes "geocities"; the popups are a real turnoff. You might look at recreating your site with photo.net presentation pages. Not quite as flexible as what you have done, but still quite a bit of room for html creativity, and it is nice to have someone else take care of the dirty little site management details.
