Folder Week: A Trip to Aveiro With The KW Patent Etui 9×12 Folding Camera
The week beginning 14 April was Folder Week, a Challenge that was new to me but was a great incentive to use some of the many folding cameras that I seem to be accumulating. According to Tom North, the brains behind Folder Week, ‘The rules are loose. If it folds it’s a folder.’ Well that seems straightforward enough. The plan was to use the KW Patent Etui from the 1920s with a roll of 120 Lomography ISO 100 colour film.
The Patent Etui is a thin form folding camera, compared to other more traditional ‘boxy’ folding cameras from the 1920s, and the only thing that has stopped me going out with this camera before is that I tend to use these folders with Instax Wide film mounted into plate film holders with a tripod, dark hood, the whole works. However, with the Patent Etui I also have a Rollex 5A roll film holder for 118 format film. These were manufactured by the Balda-Werk camera company of Dresden, Germany from about 1927 to 1946. It’s a 9×12 sized holder with a dark slide that fits securely to the back of the Patent Etui.
The Rollex film back was made for 118 film, which was wider than 120 film by about a couple of centimetres, so to use 120 film with this camera I really need some adapters. Fortunately, an Italian company called Camerhack make 120 adapters for a range of different formats and it was a no brainer to get my hands on a set of these.
The week beginning 14 April was forecast to be bad, and indeed it rained practically the whole week, and when it wasn’t raining it was dull and overcast. With faint optimism I loaded the 118 film back, though judging by the forecast I needn’t have bothered. The 120 roll with adapters fitted snugly into the film back and I wound the film on until I could see the ‘start’ arrow in the window. I closed the film back and wound the paper onwards for twelve half turns.
My original experiment with a paper roll suggested that this would bring me to the start of the film. Between exposures I wound the film five half turns, and I reckoned that I would get about seven frames out of a single roll of 120 film. In the event I got six exposures from the roll, but I’ll need to check the negatives to see how my experiment turned out.
The following Monday after Folder Week the sun came out so I headed to Aveiro. I took the KW Patent Etui loaded with Lomography ISO 100 film for Folder Week, and the Agfa Silette Rapid F loaded with expired (c.2002) Konica VX-100 colour film exposed at ISO 6. I redscaled the Rapid film. I even found a new piece of street art, so it was a morning well spent.
Using the Patent Etui with the film back was great fun. The only thing that I had to make sure was that the back was fitted firmly to the back with the little tab on the camera. I also put a piece of electrical tape over the red window, which was probably just as well since I think I lost most of the first image to a light leak before taking the camera out. Once the window was covered up, the rest of the images came out wonderfully.
The results were fabulous, and this time the Camera Meter app gave perfect results. I think the lab made one mistake with the scanning, mind. Although I used Lomography ISO 100 colour film, all the scans came back as monochrome, which I must admit — in my enjoyment of seeing such wonderful images — I missed at first look. That said, I really like how the black and white scans came out.

A Karat Film Camera That Wasn’t Made By Agfa: The Bilora Radix 35 BH
I came across an odd one the other day. I was searching for some history on the Karat film system, the original version of Agfa’s Rapid system launched (or relaunched) in the 1960s, and naturally Chrome suggested an article by Mike Eckman. Keppler’s Vault 84: AGFA Rapid Film, is a thorough history of the Rapid film system. It delves into the history of the format, notably that the Rapid film system was based on a revival of Agfa’s Karat film from the 1930s and 40s. (Interestingly, Karat film was an attempt to compete with Kodak’s 35mm cassette.)
In the post, Mike Eckman discusses the history of the Rapid film system with reference to a couple of contemporary articles from the 1960s. ‘The second article’, Eckman writes, ‘is from August 1964, and … tells some of the history of the format, even alluding to a very rare Bilora Radix Karat camera that was introduced in 1949 ….’ Mentally, my ears pricked up. What? A Karat camera not made by Agfa? Of course, my curiosity was raised so I started a search for this elusive ‘Bilora Radix camera’.
Turns out that there is quite a bit of information out there about the Radix. It was only around for a few years, from 1948 until about 1952, and it was bad timing by the Bilora camera company, better known for its cheap box cameras, to launch a Karat format camera just as Agfa was winding down its own operations in favour of using the dominant 35mm film cassette. There were a whole range of Radix cameras, from models with a fixed shutter speed, but a variable aperture, to models with five shutter speeds.
Well, by now I really wanted to get my hands on one of these cameras, so turned my attention to that popular auction site. There were a few variations available in Europe, and prices were not that bad. I found one interesting item in Germany. ‘For sale is an old camera that shoots in the 135mm square format using 24×24 film’, the advert for the item said (in German). ‘I found it in a store, bought it home, and used it to shoot two rolls of FomaPAN200.’ Unusually for an eBay post, this advert actually included two or three images taken with the camera, and they weren’t bad.
‘Although this camera isn’t famous,’ the description continued, ‘it’s still an improved version of the RADIX series with adjustable shutter speeds. The lens is clear and scratch- and fungus-free, and the shutter is precise and stick-free.’ According to the description and photographs the camera even included two Rapid canisters, so now I was really interested. Fortunately, I won the auction, although someone did try to snap it up at the last second, but didn’t bid higher than my max bid, and the auction closed.
The Bilora Radix is a strange beast. Yes, it looks like a normal camera, but the shutter button is not a button but a serrated lever that slides left to right. The shutter speed dial is a knob on the front of the camera to the right of the lens, and the back is removed by twisting the two lugs on the back of the camera which comes off in one piece. The aperture is changed by a small lever on the front of the lens, and this model was known as the Radix 35 because it is fited with an f3.5 lens. Another model, fitted with an f5.6 lens is known as the Radix 56. I think this version is one of the later models in the Radix range, and I reckon that it dates from the early 1950s. All in all, it’s in pretty good condition for a 70-year-old camera.
This version of the Radix is quite sophisticated compared to others in the Range, with variable shutter speeds and apertures. It also came with two Rapid canisters, which was really useful. The take-up canister is nice and lose in its space, but the full/delivery canister was really tight. I’m wondering if this is because of a difference between Rapid and Karat canisters, and I’m going to have to compare these later, but it doesn’t seem to make any difference to the function of the camera.
In the meantime, I’m going to load the Radix with a roll of Harman Phoenix redscaled film that I have loaded in a canister and take that to Aveiro. One thing I did find about the Radix is that when you open the back it doesn’t reset to 0, the numbers just continually cycle around. I wound the camera back to the dot after ’16’ and loaded the canister of Phoenix. I fired off two frames, but instead of a ‘1’ appearing for the start of the film, an ‘A’ appeared, followed by a dot. In fact, it looks like these frame indicator goes, ‘1 … 16 . . . A . 1 …’. But hopefully it’ll work OK.
As the film was redscaled I rated it at ISO 100, and set the shutter speed to 1/200s, the fastest shutter speed of the Radix. To judge the correct exposure, I used the Camera Meter app. It was a cloudy day, and around Aveiro the suggested aperture for the redscaled Harman Phoenix film was mainly between f16 and f8.
Aside from a couple of images in Oiã, I only managed about 6 exposures in total from what turned out to be a really short piece of film, and only one was from Aveiro. There were a few light leaks, and I’m still not sure where these were from, but I was delighted with the images that turned out and I can’t wait to get out with the Bilora Radix again soon. I’ve posted the whole roll in an album on my Flickr, light leaks and all, if you want to see the rest of the images.

Filling The Gaps: The ’72MP, 4K Ultra HD’ Digital Scamera
This always happens to me: I had this urge (again) to try some circuit bending. This involves getting a cheap digital camera, taking it apart and poking some wires into the connectors on the sensor, which if done right can produce some lovely glitchy images, but if done wrong can wreck the camera, so it has to be a device that you don’t mind possibly losing.
The second-hand electrical discount store CEX (Computer Exchange) is an excellent source for cheap digicams. In addition to specific models, quite often they offer ‘generic’ digital cameras for just a few Euros, and whenever one of these appears on the website I am tempted to get it. The thing is, you don’t know what you’re going to get. It might be a no-name brand camera fit for the bin, or sometimes an absolute classic, like the mint condition Canon Powershot G5 that arrived for just 3€. The point being, although I always intend to get one of these cameras for circuit bending I always end up ‘falling in love’ with it, and not having the nerve to potentially destroy it.
Anyhow. Last weekend a 12MP ‘generic’ digital camera appeared on the CEX website for 10€. Normally, I would be reluctant to pay so much for a digicam, but this time I wanted some decent resolution and this seemed to fit the bill. When the package arrived, it was quite heavy, and I wondered if it might be a decent camera again, like something from the Canon Powershot range. Instead it was something even better; a ’72MP 4K Ultra HD’ Chinese made scamera.
It’s a real vlogging camera. See, it has a rotating screen and a cold shoe for the microphone (no input for it, though).I first noticed these appearing on reputable websites in Portugal like Worten and Fnac when I was looking for a decent resolution digital camera for myself a couple of years ago. At the time they were priced at well over 100€, although often as not were heavily discounted. It was obvious it was a scamera, though not as blatant as those 35mm ‘Cannon’ cameras that were around a while ago, cheap plastic fixed lens ‘SLRs’ with a lead weight in the bottom that made them heavier.
Advertised as a, ‘4K Digital Camera for Photography, 72MP Autofocus Vlogging Cameras for YouTube with 64GB SD Card and Battery, 18X Digital Zoom 2.8″ 270° Flip Screen Compact Travel Camera for Teens’, they would pop up in the ‘marketplace’ of these websites. When I can, I generally avoid the marketplace, since they’re often Chinese sites offloading tat at vastly inflated prices. And this was no different. It’s a terrible sounding description. That entry was from Amazon, where it’s on sale for $36, but I’m certainly not going to provide a link for it. No one deserves that.
That toggle switch does nothing apart from reduce the resolution even further.In the hand the ’72M MEGA PIXELS’ scamera feels ‘plasticky’ and looks nothing like a quality camera should look. The camera can be turned on just by flipping the back open or, if the LCD screen is revealed, with an on/off button on the top. Incidentally, the red circled button is not the power button, that’s to record video. The shutter button is the big button on the top front, with the ‘zoom’ toggle. That does nothing, apart from digitally zoom the image. The ‘welcome’ screen is the tackiest opening screen I’ve ever seen, and the switch off screen is the same (‘bye bye’). The scamera beeps and chirps with a cheap-sounding tune, and the shutter sound is hopelessly synthetic.
Look at the built-in flash. It’s not got one flash symbol, but three. That flash must have the power of a thousand suns.Unfortunately, this 72MP camera doesn’t have interchangeable lenses. Or nearly any lens at all.The lens is amazing, and not in a good way. Described as, ‘5-axis stabilizer, 5K ultra HD, 3.95mm f1.8’, this lens looks like it’s a simple lens that projects straight onto a small sensor, like you’d get on a toy camera. Which I’m pretty sure it is. Although it says 5K on the lens, on the body the video resolution is described as 4K. I’ve not tested the video, or the sound quality, but I’m sure that it’s not either, at least not without a whole package of electronic jiggery-pokery. Which brings me to the claim of 72MP resolution. Is it? I suspect not.
Photograph of a garden globe light at the highest resolution of 72MP.If you take a typical 72MP image, the file size is 9856×7,392, or 72,855,552 pixels. But when you zoom in to that image it’s full of artifacts, so there’s certainly something going on there. I took a full frame image at 72MP, and a second at the lowest resolution offered by the scamera of 8MP. I zoomed each image to roughly the same size, and compared them. At 8MP, the zoomed image is ‘sharp-ish’, with details in the plaster and glass pieces in the globe. It’s still full of ‘rubbish’, mind you. At 72MP, which from a true 72MP you would expect to be filled with detail, it’s a mess. I suspect there’s been a lot of ‘upsampling’ going on here, where the software in the scamera interpolates and creates new pixels based on existing ones. This adds more pixels to make a much larger image but does not add any further resolution. So by my rough reckoning, this is at best an 8MP sensor. Truly, a scamera.
Photograph of the globe at 8MP resolution. The image was enlarged to show detail. This image is quite sharp.When the 72MP image is enlarged to the same magnification, clearly there is the loss of a lot of information.I took the scamera out and about during a trip to Oiã on a lovely sunny day, and here are the results. The images here have been resized to 1366 pixels at the longest edge, so there’s no 72MP here (not that there ever was, anyhow). The colours came out quite delightfully, actually, and I really liked how it appeared. I was very confused with the one image of the water tower, mind. This was taken in daytime but it looks like night. I did actually try to check out the infrared response of the scamera, and there was a horrible ‘hot spot’ in the middle of the image, so this may well be light reflecting in the lens.
An image of my favourite trees and well. Taken at 72MP resolution with a 720nm infrared filter.In conclusion, I finally got my hands on the 72MP digital scamera, a device I had been interested in learning about for a while. At 10€, it was still overpriced, and the scamera is truly a horrendous beast with absolutely zero appeal. Will I use it for circuit bending? Well, actually, although I was reluctant at first to do this, now I’m thinking that it might be a worthy contender. One of these days, I’m going to open it up, just to see what it’s like inside, and we’ll go from there.

I set myself a goal this year of writing at least one blog post a month and I’ve managed to bookend January with a post on both the first and last day of the month.
My latest post focuses on deciphering website analytics and this is probably something that I’m going to write more about going forwards.
Yesterday’s post looks at why I find it increasingly challenging to make sense of website analytics data:

Asshole petroleum dealers make plastics, and they REFUSE to only make plastics that are recyclable, most of the plastics they defecate into stores ARE NOT recyclable, pissing their costs onto us.
THAT'S the problem.
By law, make ALL plastics that are not recyclable ILLEGAL.
Then make all plastic produced be made from majority recycled plastic, so plastic companies MUST mine the seas and shores for old plastic, as part of their business.
