Rajar No 6 - subtitle "Disintegration"

[gray1720]

Following on from the success of Fenris ' s 3d-printed adaptors in resuscitating the Rajar box camera, I bought the better-known folding version off ebay, cleaned it up (the great thing about Bakelite is that a bit of furniture polish works wonders, and ran a film through it with the adaptors.

I think I may have a little light leak... maybe test the bellows beforehand next time!

I might try the suggestion linked from here - it'll mean I can try a few more of my relics out, even if its a bit cumbersome carrying them with the bellows extended. www.artdecocameras.com/cameras/rajar/no.6/

I think Lomography sell films with that 'effect' baked in.

Thanks for exposing that sales tactic

It's quite something, isn't it?

That was bellows that looked OK, too. Obviously they weren't... Moral of the story is try them with a flashgun first!

I wrote to ArtDecoCameras a couple of weeks ago to tell them about the 3D printable part to see if they wanted to link to the model. Not had a reply

That's a bit shite. Given that the copyright statement on the site is dated 2020, I wonder whether it's still being updated? That said, even a "sorry, just keeping the old site up these days" email would have been polite.
