Been gone a while and in the interim I have sent my Medalist I to Ken Ruth at Photography on Bald Mountain to have it fully modified to 120 film. I also purchased a Medalist II and an accessory back for sheet film. This way the Medalist II can be used as a view camera and no need to modify it at the present.
I'm also fixing a T-mount to M42 adapter to mount on my Medalist lenses with a modification to allow my Cokin Filters to be used. (Mainly for landscapes.) Anyway....more to come as things develop.
Just glad to get back to posting.

Over 65 and 32 sold so that would be a total of 97. Selling off more as fast as I can.
I backed out on buying a Pentax 645D and decided to go ahead with my earlier plans to modify and use my Medalists. Also plan on shooting more with the Pentax 645.

If you get it fixed you are a magician. When you get it fixed I have 4 more of different brands for you to toy with.
Also...what is your secret for bringing those light meters back to life? I have a newer model that is dead.

Health is not the issue. Been too busy working 10-12 hour shifts 7 days a week. Time is at a premium.

I'll post here as soon as it returns. Not cheap but I plan on using it a lot. I figured I could buy a lot of film and processing with the $11,000.00 a Pentax 645D would cost.LOL
I'll also show how I modified the T-mount adapter to fit my Cokin filters on the Medalist. Looks like either some Dremel or lathe work. Should be easy as well as cheap.
