Ah! Neat! Thanks!

So lovely! Where did you get your 70mm film? and how did you get it down to 61.5mm to fit in your camera? So interested in this myself

Great find! Like @mjrichards.bsky.social said, shoot it at 50 - 100 ISO and develop in normal C-41. They'll probably have a lot of base fog and grain, and you may get some slight funky color shifts from it but you should still get images.

Beautiful shots! Do not touch! Could be a reference image in the dictionary for poison ivy lol

Thanks!

I will say that camera’s shutter feels and sounds like a gunshot when it goes off, and the thing feels like a lead brick when you’re carrying it around so I get you not wanting it to be a daily driver. I find it fun to pull out from time to time, though.

Depending on the camera, you may be able to turn up an old service manual for it which will definitely give you the lubrication points. For stuff that should remain dry, I use carbon lubricant; for places where you want the oil to move, I use sewing machine oil; otherwise I use car lubricant.

If you’re not needing to mess with a lot of movements, maybe see if you can snag a Graflex Crown Graphic off eBay. Those things are built like a tank and generally relatively cheap (as large format stuff goes).

The B2 is such fun funky little rangefinder! Welcome to the club!

Sure thing!
