My guess is, you are going to have to remove the front lens to get to the shutter assembly, where you MIGHT be able to access the front side linkage to your meter. Maybe. If that works, then perhaps you can get the shutter/lens assembly off the camera to see what you can do to make your...

I had planned on stopping along the ride to take pictures as people rode by. And yes, I had planned on taking pictures of other riders ahead of me as I rode matching speed. Hoping even speeds would give a blur of the surrounding scenery and pedalling feet, but leave people and bikes mostly...

Good evening fellas! Thank you for your replies. You are much appreciated. @AnselMortensen, I will be using flash bulbs if I need too. Hoping to not need to, but... yessir, I am familiar with the guide. Using 120 re-rolled to 620? Yes, and some 620 I purchased from FPP as my camera shop is...

Good evening gentle persons! Hope you holiday weekend is going well. I am planning on going on a two day bike camping event this fall, and the camera I would like to use is my brownie hawkeye flash. Why? Because I want to try something different. And because I'm like that. My questions are...

Thank you gentlemen for your responses. I will find another use/home for them. Eric

I was out of town, and went to a yard sale where they had several pieces of photography equipment for sale. I found a stack of twelve at 3"x4" pieces of ground glass, which I purchased. After getting home, and started cleaning these pieces, I realized that they were frosted on both sides. I was...

Here is your APS in picture order. First is new film. Second is film partially used. Third is film exposed. Fourth is film developed. Eric

I believe so. If you need any other identification, please let me know. Thank you. Eric

Thank you for that Paul. I have not been a member on here long enough yet to recognize gentlefolk by their handles. And for that, you have my humble apologies. I will make my attempts on that camera here in the following week. If, in the event that I am unsuccessful, either due to trepidation of...

Thank you @retina_restoration, I figured something like that had to be the problem. Is there somewhere I can find information on how to remove the top of this camera so that I may clean and lube it? As I said, Chris Sherlock's video series on this camera address only the shutter rebuild. I have...

Good evening @benjiboy and @retina_restoration. Thank you for your responses! I tried to fully load a roll of film in the camera, without success. As soon as the sprocket turns its little bit, the winding knob locks. Only way to release it is to either press the shutter button, or slide the...

I was given a semi-non operative Kodak Retinette Model 1952 (017) for Christmas by my daughter. The shutter works reasonably well at all speeds. Has original box, owners manual, certificate of ownership, and an envelope labeled: 1. "A Kodak flashpost adapter," and 2. "Washers." Envelope is...

Thank you gentlemen, for the replies. After I am back from vacation, I will make another attempt at this camera. Have a good weekend. Eric

Greetings fellow camera enthusiasts! I have recently come into possession of this camera. It comes with a Seikosha SLV shutter. I have gone over it very carefully in preparation for use, and the only thing I can find wrong with the camera, is that occasionally, the shutter sticks. When you can...

Good evening gents! Thank you for all the responses. I appreciate them. The current camera in question, is a folder where the lens retaining ring is right next to the bellows. I watched Mr. Sherlock disassemble this camera, and he stated (and you could see) he had to use quite a bit of force to...
