Is the AS-1 flash shoe coupler for original Nikon F exactly the same as the AS-2 coupler which is listed for the Nikon F2 ?
Looks the same but is it ?
-
Very Many thanks John, am inclined to agree but as it worked ok for about half a dozen shots, I am just wondering if there was something simple I could do to revive it. Certainly it's an interesting display item : and it wasn't at all cheap ...when made in 1961 it cost £29 : equivalent to some £649 in today's money, which would equate to 40 weeks average weekly wage back then !

This camera was working fine then the Prontor-lux shutter no longer works, so can anybody help please ?
This is the Sportsmaster model with the four buttons for auto exposure and all now non working.
Thanks!

RvN cheers 🤭
PS: My last word on the Coronet "Vogue" : An example, described as 'the last one', is, as this is written, on sale for $200 USD on a certain well known web site, and it's got a major part missing ! ...... Yup, seriously !
Final conclusion : I'm quite happy to sell mine at that price, and the only thing missing is .........the film 🤑

Very many thanks John, Sandy and AJG. I have read through all your responses, which are genuinely and greatly appreciated.
Conclusion : weighing everything up and to put it bluntly, life is too short to worry about trying to do 'conversions' etc. which knowing my luck would fail anyway.. So I will just have to wait till an 828 film shows up in the UK : if one does ~ yippee ! If not, I will keep my little "Vogue" to remind me of the "Good Old Days"
TaTa for now, it's a wrap 🎬

I now have two emty spools of the correct Bantam 828 film size and one roll of unused 127 B/W film. In order to use this film, and the attached backing paper if possible, I need to reduce it's width from just 4.5cm to 3.5 cm. . How do i do that in total darkness ? I do have a decent changing bag... Anybody who can tell me is going to be my friend for life !!! Honest.

Fair comments RvN all much appreciated :0)

Many thanks again h_c, just looked at B&H, this film priced at app $21 plus $10 for UK shipping, for 8 exposures = £25 GBP, thanks but no thanks, cannot justify that..
You are right about my "Vogue" camera spacing mechanism, there isn't any! So if I can't get an old 828 film in the UK, I've no chance of using it which is a great shame.
-
Thanks RvN, much appreciated, but have given up idea of trying 35mm, although its the right width, everything else is far too problematic.
-
Cheers for that reply H-C, not au-fait with boutique confectioned film , where do I find that in UK ?
-
Needed to go in a 1937 Coronet "Vogue" : yes a rare Bakelite Folding camera but this long since 'departed' film only seems to appear in the US at ultra crazy prices 😖
-
Many thanks SCL, will investigate your suggestion..
-
So is it just oil required or something else ? And yes I know you have to lift them up!
Thanks for reading..
-
Both Cameras are in excellent condition but lifting these dials io turn them is almost impossible, is it just oiling required or something else?
Thanks 🤨
-
Thanks again H.C.
-
Many thanks again John, points noted and ditto to Heritage Cameras, your comments all much appreciated 👍
-
Must add that it all depends on what the closest focus distance would be ...
-
Cheers John, yes understood that but closer focus only would probably be acceptable ~ it's the brand name of the most reliable adaptor that I'm after 🧐
-
Adaptor Needed to use Canon FD 50/1,8 lens on Canon eos 10D, but not one with built in optics. Thanks.
