Petzval lens adapted to Musashino Kōki Rittreck 6x9.

[Stolk]

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.

Nice work.
I have a few Petzvals I use with my Ensign SLR. There a pretty lens.

What a cool project. Looking forward to the photos taken with it!

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.

Cool project! And using E100 for test film is very bold!

Ah, teething problems; you'll iron these out for sure. The rendering of that lens looks very promising to me!

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.
