With the constraint of a very slow shutter speed with my BT and other box cameras, I have had a lot of success using Kodak T400CN chromogenic B&W film, with which you can get reasonably good images at anywhere betweeen ISO 200 and 620 (or 800, if you ain't picky). Getting this 120-size c41 film processed is no problem; I have no difficulties with color-cast, since my (independent, non-chain) one-hour lab prints it on b&w paper. Give it a try!

Second the suggestion to call Mark Hama. He's good, he's fast, he's cheap.

...or Century Graflex with 6x9 back...

And finally, may I offer:

 

Some Yachicamats are prone to developing a problem with cable release. I use two 124Gs on a sliding bar for stereo photography, and have a double cable which releases the shutters simultaneously.

 

One camera suddenly began to stop firing, though the "button" release continued to work fine. As it happens, there is an internal part which is engaged by the cable release plunger that can become worn or stuck. The cost of fixing this problem at my local shop was $100 USD, since some labor was involved in disassembly to reach the problem. Since that time, I have used Mr. Mark Hama (formerly of Yashica) for all my repairs - his prices are better, and his expertise is unmatched. You can visit his Web site at http://markhama.com. His turnaround time is very swift, and his work is guaranteed.

Dave ~ are you using a lens hood or filter on your "taking" lens?

Hello - I'm wondering if it's possible to strip the 75-85 mm

lens/shutter from a better old rollfilm camera in otherwise

unredeemable shape, and mount it to a (recessed?) lensboard for use

with a Century 2x3 using 6x7 and 6x9 backs. Have looked thru the MF

library and other sites, but find few references. Has anyone out

there tried this?

Thanks!

Does anyone know of a site detailing the various models of the

Minolta Autocord?

Thanks, Bill

I'm seeking input from anyone with recent experience with Hartblei MF

products, now offered both through their own website and through (I

think) Kiev Cam. Hartblei's "remanufacturing" was glowingly reviewed

in the last (?) of a series of Shutterbug articles about

Russian/Ukranian MF products. Bodies, lenses, and accesories all

received very high marks as to performance and reliabilty, and at

bargain-basement prices. I am a little uneasy; if they are truly that

good, why haven't they gained greater acceptance? Postings in this

Forum are a little bit dated; before I sell-off a bunch of stuff to

take the plunge, I'd appreciate hearing how their gear and the

company itself has performed in the real world of late. Thanks to

all in advance!
