Old film cameras

[angelpaaul]

Anyone interested in these old things? The Kroll is a bit different, it's half frame medium format.

There are plenty of people interested in old film bodies, I've currently got just under a hundred in total.
There are a wide range of different MF formats, one of the common ones is 6x4.5 (actually half the less common 6x9)
6x6 & 6x7 are the other common forms though I've certainly seen 6x12 & I think 6x14 for panoramas too.

I see the Koroll gives a 3x4.5 image (halved in the other direction, which is indeed unusual.

Yes I'd be interested

If @Petrochemist falls through on the Koroll then I'd be interested.

You can't go wrong with Bencini Koroll, what I mean is that there is hardly anything to go wrong. I've got the a slightly later, 1961, version but still basically the same camera.

The photograph in the last reply shows one thing to be wary of, very close frame spacing. In fact my unintentional diptych has the frames overlapping. You have to be careful lining up the numbers on the red windows, yes, there are two windows which you use alternately!

Buktus has a manual, don't forget a small donation if you download a copy.

Since retirement all my weekends are long
