My house (old Gevabox 66)
The Gevabox 66 (also sold as the Adox 66) is a simple, bakelite camera, made from 1950 till 1953. It has a f/8 meniscus lens and takes 12 pictures of 6x6 on 120-rollfilm.
The camera looks so beautiful! The pictures however show a lot of unsharpness. Only a relatively small centre area is sharpish...
I had difficulty winding the 120 film. Many pictures showed linear scratches as a result. Moreover the aperture was stuck on f/11, but that was probably not a bad thing in itself, considering the lack of quality of the pictures at f/11, let alone f/8.
Film: Ilford FP4+@125
Stand-developement at home with Rodinal: pre-soak for 2 minutes, Rodinal 1:167 (3ml in 500ml water) at 20C for 1 hour, inversions first 30 seconds, then one inversion after half an hour.
