Thank you for a wonderful and comprehensive introduction to what is available.

Can you make an updated video on this lens?

Update: I moved the Crown 23. But using Graflex XL Zeiss & Schneider lenses. Shutter release paddle doesn’t line up & restricted aperture so I made adjustments

How do you load it

Weird ghostly voice. 9.9.24. then lardy takes over proceedings...... But, yeah, wow....i mean, it'll be a long time before we hear anything like that again.....

Just picked one up for only $110, the original with the little round viewfinder.

That lens was from back in the day when Kodak was proving they could make lenses as good as anybody in the world - and they did it too. Thanks for the video you did a great job of explaining everything about the camera. I love both my baby Crown and my Century.

Ate there just about every friday night in high school.. sucks to hear that its gone...😔

Thanks. For shutter info. I am on road now. Will try when I get home. I used to use this camera ok Set it down for a few years & forgot some things. I may hav a shutter problem. 🥲

How do I get lens to stay open so I can view on glass back ? FL=1O1. 4.5. Kodak EKTAR LENS?

thanks rod. made me laugh a bunch on this one. just picked this guy up for $210 shipped

If we want to purchase it, please give address of the shop or agencies in India or in Japan.

Great area for photography and super close to the PhotoFair show in September over in Portland!

Did Tamron make a tripod collar for these?

I just bought a Canon 7 from Japan and it works great,the meter is spot on

That was your place!😢

thanks for the video. one thing you didn't mention (as far as movements) is that the bed can drop as well, which can be used in conjunction with the front tilt to get some pseudo field camera movements. but the back is static. nothing you can do with that. once the camera is open and the lens extended, you can push down on the side rails, which will drop the whole bed. it's a handy movement for landscapes. i love my copy of this camera. i have the 2x3, 6x7 and 6x6 backs for it.

素人の、分解掃除したわよ。 大変だよ。

Hi, I purchased one in top mint condition. Very happy with it! Best wishes, Ralf

Big fan of the information and of your energy!

Found it, purchased it, going to pick it up when I'm in town tomorrow. ;)

Nikon F4 had a silent mode that significantly reduced shutter noise. Canon did not have that feature until later with the A2

What turned me off anout these modern Canon cameras was the Shutter sound, way too LOUD.

Fans will be fans :)

Yes that was a good call. It always sucks when a great play is called back on something like holding or offsides, etc.

I didn’t understand that chart at all. You say those #’s on the chart are the magnification you can “get”. Can you elaborate on what you mean by that? Thanks

Awesome. U still using it? I started w/ the Speed Graphic 45 but now getting a Speed 23 for its fun compact 6x7 roll & my Instax mod. What will lens limitations be on the smaller board & mine are both the focal plane shutter so its takes up inside space

The Tamron 55BB was known to be the best 500mm reflex lens, 2nd I would say is the Soviet MTO 3M5CA I still own now.

Got my Nikon 500mm F8 copy. It is wonderful! I may try to snatch a Nkon 1000mm F11 if I find a good copy in Ebay.

I’ve got one like that too. It’s an amazing lens. I got it for $100. Best lens I ever bought.

Hello, just bought this lens from Japan. Attach to my bmpcc 6k G2(S35) but can't focus with the L39 to EF adaptor. Is there any solution?

Wow! Vancouver has added a lot of density downtown!

can i use this lens for full frame camera ? not vigneting issues ?

Hi; i'm gonna adapt this with a K.M adaptor. Gotta clean out the bad fungus. Wondering how 2 mount this on a tripod? Tripod collar? Gonna b astro-gazing with this. Btw; thx 4 confirming that "rule of thumb rule" .. I'd heard it decades ago & beginning 2 remember these rules. Double that 4 this particular lens is fast man! I did get some 400 film .. maybe 800 nxt time

I just got a Beam 100 Months Old Decanter Bottle, Ship Captain and Young Boy 1980 tax seal still intact for $15 cad. I just want to crack it open and drink but should I worry about Lead

I just found a Kodak Signat at a flea market today along with a kit. I'm psyched to try it. It also included a roll of film with a 1964 expiration date.

Wtf with that fucking intro

Camera video that’s out of focus the entire time. 🤦‍♂️

Here I am finding this 4 year old video because I just rescued this exact type of camera from being thrown away or donated to goodwill(goodwill was at my strong urging if she really did want to get rid of it) by my grandmother who is in one of her get rid of family heirlooms that she doesn’t think are family heirlooms moods. So I now have in my possession my grandfathers Kodak Signet 35 that he had in Japan in 1953-1956 when he was stationed there when he was in the army at the end of the Korean War. While it is not the actual military version, I am pretty sure it was the stock that was made available to the Army Post Exchanges(PX) for service members to purchase and I am pretty sure that is how he got it and he bought it either in Japan or at a stateside px before he shipped out. It is in a worn condition but seems complete and has the issues you mentioned, the big issue i see(being the old film camera noob I am) is that you can barely see out of the view finder, the rest is worn and aged but still seems in pretty good shape for its age

Baby graflex cameras are probably the best systems for shooting 6x9 by far! The RB Graflex SLR Jr is the most handheld for most situations at the cost of not having any flash options. Otherwise if you want flash then getting a press 2x3 is great!

I bought a white Jim Beam ‘78 Corvette for $10 today at an Estate sale. The liquor is still in it. Unbroken seal, but no box. Really cool looking piece.

This lens looks so much like the Jupiter 3. Thanks for sharing the sample images. It always helps with lens purchases.

Can you make another video for mirrorless camera with Tamron SP 500mm mirror lens ?

I bought a red beetle still unopened but it looks like it got spilled maybe like half of it. Any idea what is worth

I think the hood is a very important part of the mirror lens. It helps by blocking unfocused light going straight through. I've seen some reviews on similar lenses, and some complain about haze and low contrast, while others obviously are but they don't mention. Some also blamed it on atmospheric haze, while their video shots with a wider angle didn't show anywhere near that amount of haze. I had the same experience with mine, but when I added a 10cm long screw in metal hood, it was like a different lens, all that haze was gone and contrast hugely improved.

Regarding the optical quality of these lenses, it varies a lot with the specific model. I was on the market for one of these for a while, and ended up buying a 50-year-old 3M-5A 500mm F/8 made in the USSR, from Zenit, because the optical quality is so much better than most of the lenses you can find today. I got it for about $80 on ebay, with a very sturdy leather carry case and a bunch of filters. It's obviously an old lens so no autofocus or anything like that, but it's more than worth it for the optical quality. I bought it primarily for astrophotography so I'm manually focusing most of the time anyway. These lenses can be great, but there are a lot of crappy ones you need to avoid.

11 shots, not 12.

Отличное видео!!! А Вы не пробовали снимать на советский фотоаппарат "Искра" ?

How much did those bellows cost?

Just found a few of these in the basement today, just the video I was looking for!
