Hello, I recently had the chance to buy a Toko Teleca / Cyclops. The only bad about that purchase is that the winding knob is missing. As I do not assume...
I received an email from Mike today. He wanted to be sure to thank everyone who's sent an email or photo, they've been very much appreciated. Your support has...
Hi, I'm Ed, I've just joined this group. I must admit that I do not actually have any subminiature cameras but I am into using my 126 format cameras such as an...
Ed: You can use unperforated 35 mm film, I think, just fine. Do what I did for the 110 cameras -- get a 1/16" round paper punch and make a guide out of scrap...
... Just as with 110, the perforation feeler on 126 cameras I've examined has two functions: first, to operate the advance stop so the film is correctly...
Hi, thanks for your reply. I found the photo of your perforator. Unfortunately I'm not so good with DIY but I could give it a try or maybe find someone who...
I tried the Olympus Quickmatic 600 and Kodak Instamatic 500 and neither will work if the perforation feeler is kept depressed unfortunately. I've got an...
Ed: Push the film up against the side of the locator side (it's actually a piece of wood glued to the base). This puts the hole the correct distance from the...
I used to make picture frames so I should be able to manage it, maybe with the help of my dad. What do you mean by a brad though? Is it a type of nail? I can...
Ed: A brad is a very small nail with only a slight bulge for a head. Get one small enough to fit through the hole your punch makes. Tap in into the base so...
Sorry to bombard you with questions, but here are two more. Are fingerprints etc a problem when loading the film, do you have to wear gloves? I'm only used to...
Ed: Wear gloves. Nylon inspection gloves work great, other than making the film hard to hold. I got a 1/16" punch at the local craft store, they are used in ...
I just used perfed 35mm and lived with the loss... the problem I saw was that the backing paper shifts so the film needs more than just a hole, it need a slot...
Hello everyone, About time I sent out an update announcement: my last GDGPhoto.com email announcement was last November! I've been working on a goodly number...
I've now opened up three 126 cartridges and it seems they vary a lot in their ease of opening depending on make and perhaps age. The first one was an old Kodak...
have you considered writing to the ferrinia people and offering to buy a small supply of cassette parts? Be extra polite, offer to pay shipping and add enough...

I hadn't thought of that. However I've found that at least the Ferrania cartridges open very cleanly and easily, I've got four now opened and 20 or so...
Hello everyone, I'm new! I joined this group today beacause of a tiny little Steky I found. I would like to sell it, but I want to know what it is really...

... The Steky I is engraved "STEKY CAMERA FOR 16mm FILM". the original camera is finished in nickel, later ones are a brushed aluminium. The earliest versions...
Thank you for the info! And one more question: Is there a better place for me to try to sell this than ebay? I'm not looking to make a lot of money, I'd just...

hey tony, didn't want you to think i'd forgotten entirely -- my wife's fr was in the hospital for a bit, i distract easily anyway, but i've got two rolls of...
Since the Minox is always at f3.5 and, as a result, you can't use the f16 rule directly, what exposure "guides" do Minox users use? Sure, you can still use the...
... The Minox adoption of a fixed aperture, permitted by the small format's deep DoF, did two things: it allowed optimization of the lens performance for one...
