<p>I remember seeing a small crome adaptor that has a sync outlet that you screw in the cable release thred. If you use old cameras that don't have a sync outlet that might be handy. I don't remember where on the web I saw it. Does anyone know who makes them or someone that sells them?</p>

<p>Thanks J</p>

<p>I appologize.</p>

<p>Though the Pilot and the Reflex box are similar the pilot is much easier to open up while the reflex box i very sealed up.<br>

Thanks</p>

<p>I have some old nice lenses I would like to use with my Plaubel Makiflex. Do you have to get plates specificly for the Makiflex or did plaubel make a size that fitted several cameras? Does anyone make/sell them today?<br>

Thanks<br>

Jon</p>

<p>I have recently bought a couple of the beautiful 6x9 Dresden KW Reflex box.<br>

Do anyone know someone that would be able to survice them since shutter speeds are a bit off and generally would need a bit of a lube.<br>

I am based in the UK<br>

Thanks<br>

Jon</p>

<p>I have been interested in the KW Reflex Box for quite some time now. Is there someone that can tell me a little bit about it or even better where I can find one?<br>

Thanks<br>

Jon</p>

<p>I just started using my Plaubel Makiflex and think it is absolutely fantastic. I would like to get some plates to fit other lenses. Does anyone know where I can find them or anyone that can make them for me?</p>

<p>Hi,<br>

I have recently bought a Robot Royal and I am very exited to start shooting with it. I don't have a case for it so I cant have it around my neck. Any Ideas where I can find an original case? I have tried Vienna, Igor and ebay but haven't found any. Is there anyone that make cases by hand?</p>

Thanks Alan

Hi,

 

I use my Ricoh GRD point and shoot and I think it is a fantastic camera. I am also very pleased with Ricohs costumer service and they

have repaired it twice in the the guarantee time very quickly.

I have an old Ricoh GR1 film camera that is broken. Do anyone repair them still? I would prefer it to be in UK.

It is about 1,4 cm. On each strip there are 6 images just like 24x36 neg.

The images are 24x24. The spacing is same between all images. I have shot with a 36 roll. The camera does not seem to

be faulty.

Hi,

 

I recently bought a Robot Royal III 24. I have shot my first roll with it an it the spaces on the neg are very big so there is only 36 exposures

on the film. I have an N-spool. Is that the wrong one or is there some setting I need to change?

 

Also the shutter speed button has come of a couple of times but I have managed to put it on again and it seem to stick. I am worried that I

will loose it. Has anyone got a suggestion how I can make it stick?

Are there any labs in london that does C41 after 5pm and at weekends?

Hi,

 

I am going to New York next week and would like to have a look at some classic camera shops. The cheaper the better.

Do you have any to recommend?

 

Jon

I just visited M W Classics in London and they said that you can use standard 135-film in the later Robots but they weren't

quite sure. Who can I ask?

I am interested in a Robot Royal 24. You should be able load from a normal film roll? Can you buy bulk film nowadays?

I am interested in buying a Robot Royal.

 

What worries me are the loading cassettes. Do you need to have a dark room to load them from a normal 135 film? Do you load them back

in to the normal 135 cassettes before you take them to the lab? Are the Robot cassettes hard to get ahold of. I would imagine you would

want 5-10 if you go on holiday and don't want the hassle of transferring the film.

I think it is good that some people put cameras in museums and I would love to have a

little camera museum one day but right now I get very exited by trying old cameras and

lenses to see what different results they make.

I have a fresnel screen in my Pilot so its ok to focus(instead of impossible).

I am enjoying shooting with my Pilot Super but can find it a bit limiting with the waist level finder.

Would it be possible to attach a Rollei TLR prism on the Pilot with some adjustments?

Thanks for all your answers. I am very interested in the old Exakta 66 and the wide angle

tessar but I have heard that both of them are very rare. What would I have to pay?

 

Best regards

Hi,

 

I like old 6x6's like Pilot Super, Reflex Corelle, Rolleiflex etc. Is there any of these old cameras that comes

with a wide angle(except for the rollei that is silly expensive)?

 

Jon

I like the Kowa lenses and will continue shooting with it. I messed up when I took of the

polaroid back without cocking the shutter. The camera and lens fires without any

problems when I dont have a back on it. The back doesn't seem to come on properly in

the bottom end Ross Yerkes did a CLA on the camera after I got it and I have shot 10-15

rolls with it so I doubt though it is an old camera that it would need another CLA. I just

need someone that knows their ways around Kowas(teamwork had newer heard of the

brand).

 

Thanks
