Please try french Royer Teleroy 6x9 620 camera
I’ll look into it, thanks.
@@Todd_Kuhns yes the Telerory was france best camera and most expensive 6x9 together with the Telka III another masterpiece with coupled rangefinder and coated Tessar lens 3.5 /95
@@Schlipperschlopper Cool, I'll check it out.
FPP is a great company. They also have a podcast that is long running and they are very passionate about film. They do not manufacture fill but they respool it. 620 is almost exactly the same as 120 so they take a roll of 120 that is widely available from multiple manufacturers and then respool it on a 620 reel. 620 was a size that Kodak created to get people to buy their film. Also many of the I shutter speeds were around 1/50-1/100 since ISO 50 & 100 were commonplace at that time. Made sunny 16 pretty easy. Hope this helps.
Yea, thanks for the insight and history lesson. And thanks for watching!
the tension of waiting for the processed film is almost unbearible. I await with baited breath !!! zen billings from canada/
Thanks! Me too.
A shutter speed of 1/50th and on the ones with fixed aperture F13 is a good starting point on these old Kodak consumer cameras.
Thanks for the input!
What guided your decision of setting the F stop of the camera specifically to F 22 and holding the exposure for 2 seconds? I only ask since you said the total of all the lenses and the actual light in the area was about 5 and a half stops. I plan on using the same camera but I'm nervous about over or under exposing the image or not setting the aperture correctly where my subject ends up not being in focus. I'm sorry if that's too technical of a question to explain simply.
So, hopefully this will make sense. The camera seems to have one set shutter speed and it isn't marked as to what that is. However, it is a faster speed. Maybe 1/60 or 1/125 or similar. As for the f-stop, I have four choices. I was using a hand held meter but you can also go with the sunny 16 rule which puts your exposure at 1/ISO @ f16. In my case I was using ISO 100 film. I don't remember how I decided on f22 but probably thought the added depth of field would only help in the focus area. Which, by the way, the lens is not super sharp. I was using both a polarizer and a 25 red filter. Together they ate up 5 stops of light which meant opening the shutter to 2 seconds.
I’m curious, what brand of polarizer do you use? Also, do you notice any difference between brands of polarizers, if you’ve used others?
The polarizer I used here was made by Tiffen. It’s an oldie that I’ve had forever. The big difference is going to be glass quality, coatings on the glass and I think the rule of, you pay for what you get, applies here. Not that you need to spend $500 but if you spend $19.99 you’re not getting quality. A good polarizer probably costs $50-$150 depending on the size.
620 and 120 film are the same size film. The spools are slightly different.
Right, thanks for the comment.
Shutter speed is 1/40th
Oh, good to know. Thanks for that!
@@Todd_Kuhns you are welcome. I just found one in my father’s collection and happened to research it today as I am about to run a roll of film through it. I found 2 empty spools inside so I respooled a 120 roll.
Sneaky.... making us wait until you get the film back! That's why develop my own film.
People love a good cliffhanger, right!?
@@Todd_Kuhns I suppose we do!😂
Didnt even show the photos. Boring bro
