i'm still stuggling to figure out how to hok up my portocapture
Great video can I ask where you buy screwdriver set please
There's an affiliate link for the screwdriver set in the comments. Good luck!
Trying to do this on version 19 and its completely screwed unless its my setting. Could really use some help.
Do you do restoration work? I’d love to have a mint example of this camera as an everyday camera. I currently have 2 just ok copies I’m trying to get light tight. Haven’t found a replacement bellows and understand it’s pretty hard to replace?
Sorry, no. Check out my other video where I do the restoration. I include info about how I got the new bellows and show my experience with the installation. I hope it inspires you to DIY it. Good luck!
Hey this is a random question, I can’t get mine closed when press the metal tab in the camera isn’t able to move back on the rails, anyone got any advice on how to fix that
Did you also press to release the two side arms?
Bonjour, that me again do the black and white film of today can take the réd Light?
There are 2 kinds of black and white film. The more common kind is panchromatic which is sensitive to most wavelengths including red light (think Ilford HP5+ and FP4+). The other kind is orthochromatic film (like Ilford Ortho Plus) which is sensitive only to blue and green light, but not red. This kind can take some exposure to red light without harm.
How do you take out the film after??
With roll film like this, you just keep advancing it until the whole spool is taken up. Then the paper backing will be covering the film so you can safely remove it. Unfortunately, there's no way to see, so you just have to keep turning the advance until you're sure you've gone far enough. There's no harm if you keep going. Once you remove the spool, stick the end tab down so it doesn't come loose.
Hello I need help do you know where I can find a store or éven an internet store to buy film for that camera
As far as I know the original 116 film is not available anywhere, but you can use 120 film in this camera using a 116 to 120 film adapter (added a link to the description). 120 film is still readily available from many places that sell film. I use filmphotographystore.com, amazon, and bhphotovideo.com.
@@homestudioplace thanks dude if i got some question do you mind if I ask them to you ? And also so you sell camera online ?
You're always welcome to ask questions in the comments. No, I do not sell anything photographic, I'm just here trying to help.
@@homestudioplace thanks dude you re the goat you think you are
Dust is difficult to avoid. Working in electronics engineering, a sneaky science approach to cleaning lenses untilises an anti-static mat with an anti-static wrist band. This keeps the body and work mat grounded of static electricity. If your body and work area is no longer positively charged (no potential difference), you won't attract dust to you or the lens you're working on ;) ;) ......just as a reminder that using an air blower to clean off dust actually creates static electricity which attracts more dust!
Good tip, thanks!
Why do you need the extension tube? Why not just use the adapter? Thank you.
You do not need the extension tube. I just used it to get closer focus and greater magnification in this case. The lens works quite well as a normal 55mm lens on the adapter. Thanks for asking!
Gold! Thank you for this!
You're welcome!
Perfect. Thank you for taking the trouble to publish this.
Wishing you many more photos with your Pentax. :)
First DRV Tutorial I'm watching where the "Cut" page is being shown haha
:)
i plan to repair the bellows of my kodak 3A autographic camera. i think the procedure will be the same. the only difference is the size of the bellows, as 3A is way bigger
Good luck! I hope you share the results. :)
Heh man you will forever be the guy who taught me to make a thumbnail in Davinci. Thanks sooooo much! I spent the morning making a thumbnail from your other video showing how to do it on the edit page. This looks more complicated but I am going to make notes and try it myself. What we do without great instructional videos like this on you tube? When I look at the devinci manual I get cold chills just think about finding anything out in there.
Lol! I know what you mean!
yes
inside could get a little flat black paint on the white screws, Thanks for the show and tell. Great job. do mine next?
Good idea, thanks!
Nice thanks
Thank you!
Very valuable info thanks
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Super helpful. Thanks!
Glad to hear it!
Very satisfied to watch you replace the bellows. You did great. Well done! I have a Kodak pockket no. 1 , use 120 film. The bellows needs replacement. your video is really helpful. Thank you for sharing.
I hope you do it. Good luck!
Thanks. I’ve been struggling with this today. I will try this tomorrow.
Good luck!
It's so frustrating, I don't even have the "CREATE FUSION" option. What do I need to do in order to get this to appear under the medial tools? I already uploaded some media 😭😭
On either the media or edit tabs (at the bottom) you should be able to open your shortcut/context menu (right-click on PC) and see an option for "new fusion composition." If it's not there, I'm not sure why that would be.
Wow, perfect video exactly what I needed… easy like and subbed! More pls.
Awesome, thank you!
Amazing video
Thanks!
Thank you sooo much!!
Glad it helped!
just want to let you know I appreciate how quick you got to the point on this video. Great work and well explained.
I appreciate that!
Would this work on a Kodak No.A1 series 3?
I would guess it would, but I can't say for sure.
Does this also work for the no.1? (The 120 film variant) Mine has very dry bellows, wirh many pinholes and tears. Literally grazing my fingers across the bellows gets particles of it on my fingers
I haven't ever had my hands on a No. 1, but they seem to be very similar, so I expect so. My bellows were the same; shedding black dust at a touch. It was a little nerve wracking, but worth it to me. Measure carefully.
Lucky I found a document that had bellow codes for older bellows from repair shops, they seem to be in nice condition. Thanks for the advice in the video!
Update, ive taken out the bellows but I have yet to take out the rectangular peice.
Could i use a dab of raw coconut oil ?
I wouldn't personally recommend it. With a quick web search, I learned that coconut oil has good lubricity properties but higher wear than similar mineral oils. The main problems, in my uneducated opinion, would be two things. 1) The pour point of coconut oil is around 21-24C, which means at or below that temperature, it will be a solid, which probably isn't good for the movement of camera parts. 2) It can go rancid and support mold growth.
@@homestudioplace will wahl blade Clipper oil do the trick ?
I have used Braun clipper oil in the past. It worked, but I can't vouch for how long.
@@homestudioplaceokay. I appreciate the prompt responses. Ill try with this method and keep you updated for future viewers
Perfect! thank you soo much! quick fix on my beloved camera I got handed down! This video means the world to me!
Glad it helped you!
I still have my parents but it is not useable. Wish I had seen this video a long time ago.
It may not be too late. I restored mine, and have a video showing the process. It did take some money, effort, and a bit of courage, but this being my father's camera (and, I think, his father's) I found it to be worth it.
But, this was definitely helpful. Excellent video by the way. I’m missing just that one detail.
Glad it was helpful. To add it to the video, in CZcams studio, after you upload the video, you can upload your custom thumbnail as a jpg file on the "video details" page. From studio, click "content" on the left side, then click the "pencil" looking icon on the video you want to edit (it will show "details" when you mouse over it). this will bring you to the details screen for the video where you can edit the title and description. Right under title is description, and under that you'll see "Thumbnail" where you can upload your jpg. Hope this helps some more :)
@@homestudioplace ok cool. This is very helpful! Im about to get into content creation and these videos help out alot.
You created the thumbnail but how do you apply it to the video so when the video is uploaded or exported to someone, they see the thumbnail before they play the video? All the videos I’m watching about thumbnails, they all show how to make it and export it but not how to apply it to the video. I’m new to this, forgive me.
thanks for the comment :)
Why no video update on you using it ?
Sorry, real life has gotten in the way lately. It's on my list to do. Thank you for asking!
Very cool. Acetone may have worked to cletoff glue.
You're right. I didn't try that.
this is really cool! I recently purchased a kodak jiffy 616, and the leather hand strap is missing. if you have any resources for historically accurate replacements, I would love to get them. i'd also need to get replacement bellows, since i can see light leaking in!
Cool! I hope my video helps with the bellows replacement. Sorry, I don't have any answers for the leather strap. If you find a source, I hope you'll comment a link for everyone! Thanks!
Muchas gracias! Su solución me funcionó a la perfección. Había llevado la cámara a un taller y dijeron que no tenía arreglo... pero era solo de aceitar el mecanismo. Gracias!
¡De nada! Espero que tomes muchas más fotos. :)
I found putting the thing back together again was a nightmare. The main camera body came out perfectly but for the life of me can’t get it back in 😂
You'll get it. :)
@@homestudioplace Yep, stupidly I was trying to put it in straight down rather than sliding it in. I'm looking forward to having a play with it and seeing if it all still works. I couldn't figure out why everything looked blurry through the viewfinder till I realised you don't need to close one eye like I did in the cameras I used as a child 🤣🤦♂
thanks! Fixed my Electro Spotmatic with the same issue
Awesome! Glad it helped. :)
No one ever talks about which screwdriver to use for these tiny Pentax screws and it drives me mad. So many videos on how to repair a Pentax stuck up mirror but no info on the tools, although it’s nice you showed the type of oil used to lubricate, which comes with electric razors sets these days lol Would it be possible to know which screwdriver you’re using please ? I’m sure many like me are wondering, thanks !
Hi, absolutely! I use a Nanch precision screwdriver set I got on Amazon. There's a link to it in the description section of the video, but if you search Amazon for "Nanch precision screwdriver set" you'll find something close enough.
Simple and effective. Problem solved. Thank you so much.
Glad it helped!
Hello..I just bought one of these cameras today but I can't seem to get the bellows and lense to move forward.. Any help would be appreciated.
Wish I could. It's hard over text. First, be careful. These cameras are old (duh), and the bellows are very likely to tear. If it's been closed for a long time, likely many years, the folds may be stuck and the fabric/paper has hardened. It's also possible the metal standard is stuck. It should slide along the bottom rails fairly easily, but if something is bent, misaligned, or rusted, that may be the reason. Good luck!
Thank you for the reply.. The bellows seems to be ok ..I think it is a rail problem.. I thought maybe there was a release button of some sort but it sounds like from what you are saying there is no release button you just pull it out using the center knob. That's what appears to be stuck..It will pull outa out 1/4inch and that's it.. Any suggestions... Thanks@@homestudioplace
On mine, there is a release on the right hand side near the rail if you're looking at the lens. You only have to press the release to fold it back up (not to extend it), though. Maybe that's catching?
Ok thanks I do see the release i will try that.@@homestudioplace
Ok you are going to love this... My nephew came and figured it our...Thanks so much for all your help... the release button was a little stuck.. but he got it out... Thanks for the messages!
This is pretty cool. I have two folding Kodaks over a hundred years old. One uses roll film and the other sheet film. The bellows are in decent shape last I looked. They belonged to my grandfather.
Sweet! They're pretty amazing devices. When I have a little more free time, I have a few rolls of film to shoot with mine.
This video is a life saver. So happy I officially know how to use my Kodak now. 😊
Happy to help!
Need to know more
Thanks for watching! What else would you like to know?
Great work! I'm also trying to restore one of this.
Awesome! Good luck!
Does cold weather affect the camera too? I bought a Spotmatic one week later shutter gets stuck. Once I set it to 1000 speed it goes through but the next shot gets shot
It definitely could. Cold makes oil more viscous. Of course, it could ust be the ge of the camera showing, too. Good luck!
Congratulations, you did a really good job.
Thank you! Cheers!
I'd really like to see it in use. Initialy Im going to use some black card as a mask when I begin my 35mm scanning. So glad your video popped into my recommendations.
Thanks for watching! I'm planning a video of my scanning setup, but y'know... life. I'll get to it as soon as I can. :)
Thank you! This fixed it first try
Glad I could help!
