Dacora 120 roll film camera c1952
|
German 120 square format, strut braced, self erecting camera. My first camera, handed down from my Mother. Results from this camera were generally rather disappointing. Particularly as the film rollers tend to stick mutilating the film emulsion in the process. This is a design flaw common to this and the Dacora 1. The film supply spool puts strain on the film transport rollers as they share a common pivot point - this acts as an efficient brake. It can be used, providing I don't mind the inconvenience of having to open the back in a dark bag to wind on! Pictures from this were developed at home, using the same developer several times, in an ancient developing tank, and printed in contact frames on the kitchen table during the winter months when it would get dark earlier! The present day arrangements are only marginally less primitive. Body No.38048 |
