these pics were taken with Medalist II that i got in the fall last year first roll of velvia 50 really enjoy using this camera, i can see why it has a reputation with the Ektar lens, it is always satisfying using something 60 years old

A new user's first post can't contain images, it's an antispam measure.

From now on you'll be able to post images without problems.

Nice images, welcome aboard!

Wow, a GREAT testament to the resolving power of the Ektar lens!

60 years old and still showing beautiful color and texture. Shocked

thanks for the welcome, laurence really enjoy your photos of W/Wash, i used to live in Victoria and had many trips into WA and Oregon. going from 8 pics on a roll to 36 on 35mm makes a nice change 36 seems to take forever to finish

I've decided that I must have a Medalist. I can deal with the 620 spools. Very Happy

I seem to remember (not sure if correctly) that Kodak Ektar lenses were strongly radioactive, that even the camera that contained them (for aerial photography) became radioactive for simple proximity.

The Aero Ektars are, I don't know about the ones on the Medalists.

Don't know about radioactivity, but these Medalists have some excellent lenses! Those are awesome photos, great color and crisp detail.

it is often mentioned about the 620 spools but you know it is really easy to re roll just practice in a dark bag and in 5 min you will have it mastered and it all worth it once you start shooting withe the medalist

Another option is to get a broken Kodak Tourist 620, or one of the later mostly plastic bodied 620 cameras, then grind away some stuff in the feeding chamber so you can fit a 120 roll. Then use the camera to transfer film from 120 to 620, without a changing bag. The later cameras are light, you can even bring it along to transfer film on the go.

This is one of those, "Why didn't I think of that" ideas. Very nice. Thanks!! Very Happy
