Default small steps - the beginning


it is pretty easy to make or buy (Judge Maggid) an adapter for using 120
rollfilm in the old postcard cameras, see related notes and tips at my
page at http://medfmt.8k.com/mf/postcard.html also mf/folder.html for tips

a number of these postcard lenses can cover, with minimal movements, up to
4x5", providing a lens for very low cost (often under $20 with shutter)
but with 4 elements that do surprisingly well when cleaned of grime on
glass ;-)

see http://medfmt.8k.com/bronbellows.html and bronbelfix.html for tips on
replacing bellows (for folders etc.)

hope this helps - bobm
