Loading of
the Camera You can use any Type of Modern 120 Film I used Kodak
for the nice Yellow Contrast
|

The camera back can be opened after sliding the arrow and
pulling out the locking bolt.

Spool Springs

Insert an empty Spool
in the Take Up Side
By pushing down on the Spring Spools and inserting the top notch
in the take up side.

|
Inserting the Film
Unpack the 120 film, pull out the spring at the bottom of the
camera and insert the spool into the lower spool chamber. Slit
open the gummed label of the film spool and pull the protective
paper toward the empty take-up spool. Tighten the protective
paper by turning the film winding key several times.

Keep Watching the Window for either Arrows or Circles Depending
on Film Brand

Select your aperture.
In good lighting condition a large depth of field can be
achieved by reducing the lens aperture. The lens aperture and
the lens aperture setting figures are reciprocal, i.e. the
smaller the lens aperture the higher the diaphragm settings
figure. Every reduction of the lens aperture necessitates an
extension of the exposure time.
When reducing the lens aperture, the depth of field increases
both in forward and in backward direction from the distance on
which the lens is focused.

Select your Shutter Speed.
The correct exposure time can be ascertained by using a light
meter or the SUNNY 16 RULE
SUNNY 16
set the aperture on f/16 and your shutter speed on the ASA of
your film i.e. 100. This will give you a correct exposure if
your subject is evenly lighted by the sun. If cloudy open up the
lens one stop to f/11 or select a slower shutter speed of 50. Be
aware that to slow of a shutter speed and camera shake will be
seen in you negatives so use a tripod.
f/16 at 100 is the same as
f/22 at 50
f/32 at 25
f/11 at 200
I use a lot of ASA 400 speed film and set my camera at f/32 and
the shutter at 100. 400 speed film is two f/stops faster than ASA
100 my adjustments are f/16 to f/22 (one stop) f/22 to f/32 (one
more stop) for a total of two stops.
400 speed film f/32 at 100
Same SUNNY 16 RULE. As they say do the math

Most older folders use the "Guesstamation Focus Method"
that is, first you determine the distance between the camera and
the subject you want to photograph. Once the distance is decided
upon, the range is set on the focus dial of the Len's. This is
easy if over 30 feet to infinity but anything less starts to
cause problems for some. Errors in your "Guesstamation" can be
overcome by using a large depth of field i.e. f/22 or f/32. I
use mostly ASA 400 film HP5 Development which allows me
to use a large depth of field most of the time. When shooting up close I measure
with my arms and sometimes I will carry a tape measure to get right on.
On this lens the yellow arrows are the range of 5 feet to
Inf. Once the range to the subject is determined turn the dial
to the red arrow this is were the range is set to. |
