Anybody Here Using the Plaubel Peco Junior?

6.5x9cm Plaubel Metal Cassette Back Holders Films by Nokton48, on Flickr

I have a lot of expired 6.5x9cm film in my freezer. I am starting to figure out what I have. I did load up the truck for sure! The Back has only "Made in Germany"stamped on it. Nothing else. 75mm x 118mm are width and length. I use the Combiplan Tanks for 6.5x9 developing six plates at a time. Works good! Like inversion agitation D23 1:1. The Orwo NP22 and NP15 are interesting, bought multiples from Yugoslavia.

Plaubel 6x6 roll film back modified to 6x7.

Counter dial taken from 6x9 back. Allows for 8 exposures of 6x7 per 120 roll. No overlapping negatives, though!

Received a much anticipated package today from Joel & Adam over at S.K. Grimes!

Back in June, I sent them two lenses to be modified for use on my Peco Jr.

1) The electronic shutter & Nikkor 80mm f/2.8 lens cells that had been removed from a Plaubel Makina 67
2) The "N f/4 65mm L" lens for Mamiya 7/7ii

The Plaubel Makina 67 lens was re-mounted into a Copal 1 shutter & installed onto a Peco Jr Copal 1 original lens board.

The Mamiya 7/7ii 65mm f/4 lens was completely disassembled from the lens housing, and re-mounted into a Synchro-Compur 00 shutter. It was then placed onto a Peco Jr Copal 0 recessed lens board with a custom Copal 0 to Compur 00 mounting flange.

Even though I intended to exclusively shoot 6x7 with these lenses, both appear to cover 6x9!

More than excited to put these into use!

Magnificent Work Ivan! WOW New Plaubel onto Olde German Plaubel Peco German. Bet they are both easy to look through. I like 6x7cm too to make 8x10s and Graphic Wind XL Backs are what Jim Galvin shaped the camera bail to fit the Graphic WInd lever. Anyway 8 6x7cm negs work good in the plastic neg pages.

Thank you Daniel!
I've just arrived back in Spain, after a summer in Michigan. With being back in Spain, I'm now reunited with my Epson V700.
Having owned my Peco Junior since March 2025, I'm just now seeing images made with it for the first time.

What a fun camera!
