The final photo on this film roll taken with the 110-year-old camera

I only managed six photos on the roll (each neg is 6x10.5cm). Film advance was by counting half turns of the advance knob; there are no suitable markings on the backing paper.

Today I will be developing the photos I took yesterday with my Duplouich Tropical camera for #FolderWeek. I will be developing the glass plates using Moersch Eco 4812 and the Kentmere in Spur Acurol-N.

My first attempt at shooting glass plates with this camera was not very successful. I couldn’t fathom out the weird aperture scale. The exposures were way underexposed - the best one is shown below, along with the glass plate negative and positive.

#glassplate #BelieveInFilm #GrainyPhotos

The results of #folderweek are taking shape. #filmisnotdead #shootfilmbenice

The velvet ribbon for the light seals arrived, fitted, and everything is ready to test—time to load film and get the show on the road!

Hopefully, we will have photos!

#FolderWeek #vintagecamera #believeinfilm #GrainyPhotos

I'm still waiting for the velvet ribbon to repair the light seals on my 110-year-old Tropical Camera with H. Duplouich Lens. The ribbon should have arrived on Monday 😡

I am still hoping to use the camera for #FolderWeek; I just have to fix a few issues. In the meantime, if you would like to find out more about this amazing camera, I have posted an article about it: https://grainyphotos.com/projects/hundred-year-camera/tropical-duploich-camera/

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.

https://flic.kr/p/2qZfKGP

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.

https://flic.kr/p/2qZ9DTJ

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.

https://flic.kr/p/2qZfKGU

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.

Starting on 14 April is the next Folder Week, a Challenge that's new to me but is a great idea to get out some of the many folding cameras that I seem to be accumulating. The plan is to use the KW Patent Etui from the 1920s with the 118 roll film back, but worst case, the 1940s Agfa Karat could be a worthy substitute.
