I have adapted an unbranded Petzval to my Musashino Kōki Rittreck 6x9 mirror reflex camera.
I think the result looks truly majestic.

I am currently shooting my first roll of film on it, and will share here once it comes back from the lab.

Looks awesome! Having done a lot of odd 6x9 experiments myself recently, I approve! Looking forward to the pictures.

So... first roll is back, and I have quite some issues to fix.

1. there are light leaks.
2. the film loading was messed up, the first frame taken at 30% into the roll, missing the last 3 images or so. I had wound the spool until I saw (1) in the frame counter, too deep into the roll. Not sure why.
3. the focus test shows that it focused 2cm too deep. I had focused the ground glass at +00cm, and the +02cm is in focus.

As long as the shutter is working, that's the most important thing. I've occasionally searched out these cameras over the years but never found a good copy at a reasonable price.
