Double Glass m39/139 mount lens now available for immediate shipping!

If you've been waiting to pick up your own Double Glass lens, I now have a small batch of 60 available on my website. There is a link in my bio to the page.

All lenses now come with a 49mm pinch cap and a custom-designed twist lock hard case to protect your lens during those rare times that you don't have it mounted on a camera. The hard case measures 60mm diameter and only 23mm thick so can be easily kept in your pocket or bag so you will always have an ultra-compact symmetrical element 24mm F11 snapshot lens to hand.

l've also added the option to include a 24mm accessory viewfinder (coldshoe mount) with your lens to make composition simple either for cameras that don't have 24mm trame lines or simply to tocus your view instead of using the screen on your digital Mirrorless body. I took all of these example images with my Sony A7 mk1 camera.

My Chroma Click arrived yesterday. I've only had a couple of quick looks at it but first impressions are that the manufacture and design is of extremely high quality. Some nice touches especially the winding on mechanism and the associated frame spacing.

I'll start a mini thread about it in the next couple of days.
 
My new "FX-Six" multi format 120 system.

After launching the 6x17 format “FX617” in 2025, with its’ simplified fixed body design, I’ve been working on a smaller version that offers three different frame sizes; 6x12, 6x9 and 6x6 in one compact system and am happy to announce that my new FX-Six is now available to order from my website HERE
The FX-Six shares compatibility with the lens cones from the Six12 camera system, offering options from ultra wide to telephoto as well as pinhole. The FX-Six also comes with 4 slot-in frame masks to switch between formats. As the camera is a fixed body design, the frame masks are fitted before loading film and left in place until the film is complete.

The camera also comes with a drop in ground glass which can be fitted in place before loading film to check composition/focus, and to set your own preferred focus distance markings on the focusing helicoid.

Like my other cameras, the FX-Six comes as a ready to go setup, including the lens cone/lens board of your choice and ground glass. You just need to mount your lens to the lens board and load film. Available in a range of colours and built to order, ranging from £295 to £340 depending on the helicoid size required.

Cheers

Ooh, interesting. I'll have a look at that later on your website.
