I recently bought a rolleicord VB and a 24 frames adapter. This idea was in my head for a long time but I knew I shouldn’t be the only one. The 24 frames adapter was originally meant to shoot 24x36 pictures on 120 film but it works perfectly with a homemade adapter for 24x60. Glad to see you figure put something! 🤝
You're back, glad to see it I hope the break you take made you feel great again. I'm also taking a break, from video game... Have not touched my PC for 3 months, it is such a relief
Cool to see stuff from you again. I’ve tried similar “super wide” shots with a Mamiya C220 since the advance and shutter functions are separate, but it’s total guesswork when trying to nail the division of a frame by one half as I don’t have numeric markings to go by. Trial and error gets expensive.
It really does lol, i’d recommend marking a “starting point” notch on your winder and measure 1 frame per % of full revolution. For example, if it takes 80% of a full revolution to advance one frame then advancing it in 40% revolutions would be a reliable counting measure. I did something like this for 220 film which is double 120 exposures!
Agreed. I’ve been trying in a Yashica Rookie and it’s very hard without a frame counter or other visual indicator. The Ricohflex looks handy for this application.
This is such a cool idea. Its cool enough that it might be my final justification for finally buying a TLR! Do you happen to know if this is possible on other Ricohflex models/TLR's in general? Or would I need this particular model camera?
I can’t say which models this would work on, i just happened to get a tlr that allowed me to freely wind the advance. It’s probably more common in nonstandard models like this one
The key is for the camera to have a manual film advance mechanism that’s separate from the shutter charge as mentioned in the video. The good news is that this mainly rules out more expensive TLRs like Rolleiflexs.
