You are awesome Jim! Thank you. I found out my No.6 has a lot of pinholes that will need takin care of. I used your chart successfully with my Nikkor W 180 my elgeet 10” and the original lens. Side note I have a No. 10 now as well. Lots to do with that one. Will post images to a new album on...

Jim, am I reading this right? Let’s say I use a 180mm lens. If I were to focus on something closer and had to expand my bellows to 210mm would I use a 53t gear? Or is this just for infinity?

I made a spreadsheet for you from the information you posted. Spreadsheet

I have made one but not yet for the #6. I made one for my AL-Vista 3B and 5B as well as my Panoram Kodak No4. But I’ll surely be making one now for this. Good advice. I also have leftover cuts from them. Some 22mm and some 60mm.

Wow! Thank you! I have a lot of the 9 7/16 Agfa Aviphot pan 200. I’ll try and get some of that 70mm I see a lot of before cutting more of the big stuff down.

Well I did post the 4 gears I made on Printables and thingiverse for other people to try. I unfortunately don’t have access to a #5, 8,10, or 16 to make and test the other sizes. I wish I knew how many gears should go with each camera like a range. I do believe now my “kit” was parted together...

I have a copy of the manual idk if this link will work.

Ok Jim I now have some photos! It’s a link to a Flickr album. https://www.flickr.com/gp/197703301@N08/sx8g77x31Q Edit: 288 or 290 tooth main gear. I might have skipped a couple of teeth. I’m guessing it’s 290.

Hey Jim 👋 thank you for the reply. Sorry for the late response I have been super busy this past weekend and week. I tested the motor and seems to do well making a full rotation. It was also a test of my 3D printed gears as well. Seems to work. Won’t know till I run some film through it.

So about 1 360° per roll with room for an extra 22 or less inches of panoramic photos. Well this makes things more interesting. I think if I want to make 360° I’ll plan for it. Otherwise it will be a better AL-Vista then.

Oh this is very helpful and makes a lot of sense. Thank you for the information. I’ll give it a try.

I did not get a complete kit. The original gears and key are missing. I have the base sun gear, the camera cirkut back, tripod legs, GG 5x7 back, 8”/14” lens and main camera. I modeled some gears on fusion360 based off a search. Unfortunately I’m at work on my break atm and don’t have any...

As I said in my first post it’s a number 6 outfit i believe that means it’s a governor style. My understanding was that there is two types the Cirkut camera and the Cirkut outfit. Kodak would label the film different saying that the film was not interchangeable between corresponding sizes. The...

Thank you for responding. I saw somewhere it was leader as well just wanted to confirm. I need to get a 4 reel tank anyways for my AL-Vista 5B. I have made spools for the AL-Vista 3B and 122 film that fit the 3 spool. I posted em on thingiverse and printables. I figured I would make one for...

I recently got a No.6 Cirkut outfit camera. I don’t have much information on the film measurements and how many photos the 72” roll would have made using the original 8”/14” convertible lens. I have a bunch of Agfa Aviphot Pan 200 I wanted to cut down and make rolls for. Cutting the film isn’t...
