Kinax folder camera

This is a very nice looking folder camera, made in France in the 50s. The shutter did not work when I bought it, but unfortunately I was not able to repair it. I opened the front elements, cleaned the shutter assembly and managed to have the shutter moving, but it won't move freely.
So I lost my hope... Too bad, it looks like a capable camera.
the camera takes 620 film (you must respool some 120 film in a 620 spool) has some shutter speeds (1/10 to 1/150th) and a f4.5 maximum wide aperture. The viewfinder can be adjusted for the shooting distance to count for the parallax.

Steinheil 2nd film

I tried with a Kodak Tri-X 400 ASA B/W film. I overexposed some pictures and the negatives came out very dark. Then, I photographed the negatives and used a preset in Lr3 to convert to positive.





and an accidental double exposure:

Voigtlander Bessa folder camera

Voigtlander Bessa folder. Found it in bad condition. I opened the lens and cleaned it, repaired a bent element of the shutter, put electrician's tape to patch the bellows, cleaned the body, removed the leatherette tissue and placed black tape. I will test the 6X4,5 mask with a colour 120 film.

Steinheil folder camera

Did not find information on this one. It's a Steinheil German folder camera from Nazi times perhaps.
Apertures are from 6.6 to 32 and speeds are 1/100, 50, 25, B and T. It's in good shape and works fine. Takes 120 film for 8 6x9 pictures.
