6x6 diy camera

Just finished yesterday!

 

I made this camera as a present for couple friends who are just married and they both have passion for film photography.

It just need some adjustement but basically is done and i've just loaded the first roll...let's hope for a develop without light leaks :)

 

Some details about the stuff i've used:

 

- Leica 35-135 Imarect/VIDOM rangefinder

- Smena external rangefinder

- Kiev 88 back holder film ( 6x6 )

- Tominon 4.5 105mm lens on COPAL 1 shutter

- An helical focus ring from an old Meyer Gorlitz Domiplan 50mm f 2.8 donor lens

- Oak wood for the body and olive wood for the grip

- 50cm shutter cable release

- an adjustable cold shoe

- Bits and pieces (aluminium plate, seals, nuts&bolts, lineen oil, glue, epoxy resin, ect )

 

If you are interested to look how it was built I've made an article here
