Kiev camera

Jen, the girl at school who has a kiev also, is very careful with her film advance lever. She carefully holds it while it repositions itself back to the start.

That's what I do! But it's ok, losing 2 shots does not bother me. At least it's consitent: I ran 2 rolls of outdated slide film through it, marking the spacing with a pen, and it did not change a bit.

By the way, I envy you. I used to live in Concord/Walnut creek, in my 1st year in the U.S. great place, Nor Cal.

not the same place. In the past 7 years the area has at least doubled. Out in the delta region near Antioch and Brentwood it is all houses now. Hwy 4 is a nightmare. That and the county is on the verge of bankruptcy. Mismanagment of funds

I take it back, then...

André, Rolf Dieter Baier's film advance procedure is in addition to and complementary to Ron Spillman's film loading procedure.

I probably have one or two Pentacon WLFs around - I'll take a look. I honestly can't remember if they show the whole screen or not (probably not).

I use Kiev 60 WLFs on my Pentacons. They show the whole screen and have a better magnifier. IMO they are a better design than the Pentacon WLF and they are inexpensive. I may have a spare - I'll take a look.
