Prontor Germany Auto locking cable release. Two 50 sheet boxes ARISTA EDU 400, (One full one partial). Two rolls Ilford Pan-F 50 120. Toshiba Linear light meter with a fresh battery in it so you can dive right in. It's light and accurate. Examples shown metered with it in the field. Everything you see here is film tested and in working order, starting with the camera itself. Shutter is accurate at all speeds.See the last three pictures. This roll of Ilford Pan F 50 was shot on Wednesday, March 27, 2024.
Using the RADA holder shown. As you can see, they're all essentially perfect exposures, thanks to the Toshiba meter.Simultaneous testing of the Sheet Film Holders shows that some have tired end seals. These should be used entirely indoors, and/or under a black sheet.
Okay for night time shots. Not to be used in full sunlight as I used them for this test.
But don't rely on this without conducting your own individual tests for the holders. Made in Stuttgart Germany by Dr. August Nagel in the years before Eastman Kodak Co.
This one was made between 1928 1932, and is fairly scarce. Other Nagel Recomar 18 listings are typically the later "Kodak" models, have shutter issues, have been modified to add a cold shoe etc.
Or worst case have no way to load or use them. Again, this is not that. None could be called "film tested", as this one actually is.It is as capable as a Certotrop or Bee Bee 69. This is a full view camera in miniature, with rise, shift, and extension bellows. Ground Glass focusing, with a focus scale in meters on the bed.
The holders, except one, that you see aren't opened to show their clean interiors because they're loaded. The film shown came out of the freezer for the shoot, then went back in. The Series V infrared Filter (and the hood which it fits in) are exceedingly hard to find.(Which hardly matters since IR film is getting scarce) Searching out the precise slip-on hoods which hold Series VI and V filters took time. The Plaubel Makina people are always after these because they're made by Plaubel, and they're superior to any other on the market, before or since.
The stainless hangars all work, there are two types as shown. The Urell 6.5X9cm also take the sheet film provided. All are able to also hang 2.25X3.25 Glass and sheet film. The chromed half-ball steel tripod is practical, but really look at how well it displays the camera. It's very well made, and broadly adjustable. I've never seen another like it. The Price Monotank CF-46 came to me with the hangars.The Kodachrome 35mm adapter was originally a Half Frame model and has been converted to full 24mm X 36mm. I have not erased the half frame which the previous owner penciled onto the ground glass. It's all here and it's been in the field recently. An experienced photographer uses this, currently. Everything included here is as it should be.
It helps if you already have. In tanks and in trays.
A daylight changing bag or tent. The Rada 120 holder requires you to advance through TWO (2) frames to arrive at 6X9cm. Don't forget, or double exposures will be your result.
This holder will NOT accommodate 220. The Kodachrome 35mm Adapter is for copy work only, use under a dark cloth.
The Kodak Combination Sheet/Plate Holders are not something you just whip in and out. They require that you learn how to load them, how to carefully attach them to the camera after composing and metering, and how to then unload the film into the hangars in total darkness. All of this equipment is way older than you.
It has arrived in 2024 intact, by dint of the respect it has been shown by the people who've owned it since 1928. You might be the next person in its' continuing history. It's advisable to acquire and read the Kodak Recomar 33/18 Instructions, which are the same for this model. You'll be ready to go the moment it arrives.
