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!
