Hello you all!

[bill70roll]

Hello you all. My name is Bill. I live in Colorado. I was into photography when I was young. In the early 1970s I started a degree in photography at Columbia college in Chicago. But I gave up on my photography and took a different road a long time ago. When I recently retired from that other career my photography came back to me. I mostly fiddle with old medium format folders. I put new bellows on them and fix the shutters. I like the kodak monitors in 620 and 616. I also have a Kodak Medalist II and still have my old cameras from when I was a young student - a Yashica Mat 124 and Minolta SRT 101. I re-roll 120 for the 620 and recently started rolling my own 616 from 70mm bulk like Aviphot using recycled backing paper and some hand cut backing paper. I develop my film and scan with the Olympus E-M1 and Nikon Micro Nikkor 55 using the Essential Film Holder and process with Darktable. I've learned a lot from members on Photrio, and I look forward to learning much more. Thanks, Bill

Welcome to Photrio. I also enjoy old folders but use a Zeiss super ikonta 531 to avoid the hassle of respooling. Great cameras.
