WTB Adapt-a-roll 620 converted for use with 120 film

[pudentaine58]

Hi all- looking to buy an old adapt-a-roll 620 w/ or w/o 120 film conversion. Preferably with. So if some of you all have an extra or haven't used yours in years and never really intent to, then please do the right thing and sell it to me an Intermediate/advance beginner who's been shooting film since he took a PHOTOGRAPHY course at the local 4-H because he was from Boston and knew he'd never want to raise a pig!! You can private message me here with preferable means of communication and price. I'll contact you either way whether I think the price is out of my budget or not.

Also looking for sheet film holders for a 2 1/4 by 3 1/4 Busch Model C Pressman.

Thanks Thomas

Sorry can't help you out with your needs but the Busch is very nice camera. I had a 4x5 back in the 70's and the build and finish was far superior to the Graphic. Doesn't your 2x3 use standard film holders?

Hey Rick, thanks for the response, I'm new to this camera and I read that the adapt-a-roll is the only rolled film attachment that fits on the Busch without modification. There is a guy who did some reversible modifications with synthetic wine cork here that looks pretty forgiving, I don't like to alter original equipment in a way that it can't be returned to original unless I really have to. I figure someone owned this camera before me and when I pass to the great camera in the sky, I'd like to think it will go on to do it's job for the next person. Here's his link if your interested in seeing what he did. I may do this but and adapt a roll would be a simpler alternative, it works well because it is flat like a sheet film holder so no modifications needed on the camera.(see examples of how it fits on what looks to be a 4 by 5 which is what I'd like to get eventually. I got this Busch Model c for $35 just now on eBay, I'll start with that then move up when I get the hang of it. I saw your Flicker stream, I especially like the B&W, I like architecture myself and hope to use this on some skyscrapers. BTW the color on that still life is great!! your the first person I've met jsut joined yesterday, I'm off to do my profile and add a pic. Take care and keep in touch!
