Re: Kodak Survey

[P3D Michael McEachern <mmceach@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a Kodak with SN 062944. I have only shot 2 rolls of film with it.
I just loaded the third roll into it.  On the first roll several of the
frames were overlapping. This was probably the first time in 30 years that
film had been run through the camera. The problem did not reoccur on the
second roll.  The depth of field scale on the Kodak seems to wide and a
number of the pictures slightly out of focus at infinity.
 
The camera I use the most is my hated realist. The focus control is always
getting reset accidently when using the viewfinder. The realist has to be
mounted backwords on my tripod the use the viewfinder. To operate the realist
one handed requires using the left hand. The feature of the realist that
I like and the lens covers and the solid construction. The camera has
held up well while been dragged around in my cave pack. The realist is also
more compact that the Kodak.
 
I have recently acquired a TDC Colorist I which am running a test roll of
slide film throught now. I like the controls on it and it may become my
favorite above ground camera.
 
I also use a Pentax SLR with a the Pentax stereo adapter which works well
in the 2 - 8 foot range.
