hand held 4x5 rangefinder project
bigger
My Polaroid 250 arrived. Another project. Here it is with the Graflok back and Kodak Ektar 127 that will end up on it. The 250 is quite a bit smaller than the 110b. The Graflok back is usually trimmed to fit on the back of the 110b. The ground glass holder in the Graflok back is about the height of the back of the 250. I want to keep the Graflock back untouched so it's going to extend a bit above and below the 250. This will let me use 4x5 sheet film holders as well as my 4x5 Polaroid back. Eventually I will get some Grafmatic holders. I will have to move the rangefinder up and that might be a little tricky. I might try zone focus. I can always ground glass focus. Now to start taking things apart and to send the Ektar 127 off for a CLA. And then figure out how it's all going to go together. It even had nice lugs for one of my neck straps. |
