Very nice results, Jussi, you should be more careful handling the negatives,
left your thumb print on that silo, looks like. Wink Smile My attempts at
respooling 120 were singularly unenjoyable.

That is simply moirè.

It was, or may be still is, the workshop in California called the Bold Mountain. They can convert Medalists to 120. Many moons ago I did it by myself, using Dremel and a couple of magic words. I have edit grip and, most helpful, the focusing ring get a click on infinity. This Medalist II was my working horse for decade, I love it even after 15 years of practicing Digital.
Remarkable camera, incredible lens, it was a war time copy of Voightlander's Heliar, but after WWII they sue the Kodak, it was end of Medalists.


Bryce Canyon. Ilford HP400, amber filter.

That is awesome canyon shooting... The Medalist was Laura Gilpin's favorite:

From Arthur Elgort's wonderful book "Camera Crazy" -
"The famous photographer Laura Gilpin in Santa Fe. Her friends and contemporaries were Ansel Adams and Edward Weston. She's holding a Kodak Medalist 2 1/4 - her favorite camera. 1976"

This camera is remarkable, dropped from Empire State Building it will work!
Ones two hoodlulms had tried to attack me in NYC, I wrap the strap of Medalist over my arm and they run away.
