An orphaned Kodak Retina Reflex IV has found a new home.



Surprisingly, it's working well. I guess it has not been serviced ever. As usual speeds are out of range, but usable (if you are very picky, correcting ISO in the light meter).
1/500 --> 1/342
1/250 --> 1/227
1/125 --> 1/88
1/60 --> 1/47
1/30 --> 1/23
1/15 --> 1/11
1/8 --> 1/6
1/4 --> 1/3
1/2 --> 1 seg
1 seg --> 1.3 seg

Picked up 3 rolls of Kodak HIE Infrared 35mm at a garage sale. The film was from the 1980s and had 20 exposures. Couldn't pass it up. I have loaded one roll in to my F1N so tomorrow I am off to see if it is still any good.

Would love to see your results!

Got a "Camolo Release baseplate" (aka a Digital Foto DF8131) off ebay (for my Kodak Monitor 620, easier to have on than the other L-bracket I have), a Leofoto VD-03 monopod feet for when I want to go out & not take my tripod, and a JJC RM-E7 ir remote for my Pentax MZS

The very last thing is a black Nikkormat FTN (2nd version) with a silver accessory shoe, a 24/2.8 'K' Nikkor and a Vivitar 252 flash.

Well, finally got there. Just ordered a Minox B from eBay, four (expensive) preloaded cassettes of "Spy Film" from Blue Moon Camera (two each of what appears to be Delta 100 and Delta 400), and a Minox developing tank still in original box/packaging from eBay. Still need to get a film slitter (ideally one that will slit120 into six strips and discard the edge markings) and some way to fill a D90 frame with a Minox negative (and eventually a way to enlarge the tiny negatives, too).

And last night, I grabbed a 2-pack of 50-exposure Minox films (ASA 50 expired 1966, in the tin case) from eBay for $20 including shipping. That'll be a convenient size for me, since I plan to slit from 120 and full 120 length is just about exactly what I need for 50 exposures of Minox plus head and tail. I don't know for certain whether my Minox Daylight Tank will accept 50 exposure rolls (I've read that some do and some don't), but if not I can get a couple Minox reels to fit my Paterson.

Got a Tamron SP 17-35mm f2.8-4 (model A05) for my Pentax MZ-S, glass & body is clean & AF works. Getting a lens hood for it 3d printed from my local library, should be getting it soon (dont feel like paying $20+ bucks for a lens hood)

The cable release I have is starting to crap out on me, ended up getting a new one but the plunger is a smidge to short to trigger the shutter on my Kodak Monitor 620

Bought some 5x7 dbl wt paper. The tariff thing is going to really screw up distribution of anything coming in to the USA.

A carbon fiber tripod, so I can retire my 20+ year old manfrotto, and perhaps increase my quality of life when hiking. As well as some dry ferric oxalate and silver nitrate.

Ordered a slitter to make 120 into six 50-shot Minox strips. That'll make it MUCH more economical to use my new-to-me Minox B.

Got a Gepe cable release

Ended up getting a Gepe shutter release from Freestyle Photo (this one: https://www.freestylephoto.com/6020...loth-Covered-T-Lock-with-Rotating-Tip-20-inch), which was $8 bucks cheaper than B&H ($30).

(B&H the last couple years have had so many items that are on backorder/special order/expected in xyz days/weeks )
