Vintage Camera

Updates!

As you know, I received the camera and it looks to be in really good shape and the bellows light tight. I've got some camera tape on order to seal off the autographic part and any other places that need it.

I picked up a vintage Kodak cable release for the shutter on eBay. Cheap!

12 rolls of 120 film arrived last night. I'm sure I've ruined the first roll just getting it IN the camera. The thing is really tight, had a heck of a time getting the back of the camera off. It was also not easy for me (fumblefingers) to get the spool in line with the winder. I'll be taking the roll of film as soon as I have broad daylight to play in (this weekend) to see if there are other leaks I do not know about.

In any case, should be interesting to see what I do get on the first rolls of film. Plenty of blurry or totally ruined shots, I am sure!
