Nikon D60, No.1 Folding Pocket Kodak adaptation
Here's a Nikon D60 fitted with the lens-shutter-viewfinder assembly from a junk No.1 Folding Pocket Kodak camera, made around 1905. I found the camera in front of someone's house in a box of rubbish on trash pick-up day. Who ever discarded it did the right thing. It was totally beyond any hope of economical repair, with some parts rusty and corroded, leather peeling, and the folding linkage twisted and bent. Any leather that was still clinging to the underlying metal smelled of mold. I decided to disassemble the camera, salvage the lens / shutter, and toss out everything else. Here the lens and shutter assembly is mounted on a short bellows from a Spiratone Bellow-Dupliscope.
