Packfilm Model Conversions

While it is fun to convert the older models to accept packfilm, sometimes you just want a camera that uses packfilm right out of the box.

I have converted a couple to complete manual controls by exchanging the auto circuitry for a medium format lens and shutter.

As well there is documentation on how to clean, refurbish and modify to accept newer batteries your pack film model.

Automatic 250 - abandoned

changing auto to manual; 105mm lens and shutter

Automatic 250 - lens & shutter

changing auto to manual; 127mm lens and shutter

Automatic 450 - lens & shutter

changing auto to manual; 127mm lens and shutter

Refurbish & Battery Mods

modify to accept lithium or AAA batteries

Take the time to look at all the conversions here before attempting yours. I find it is best to look, learn, and create. My steps are only a guide and not set in stone. Use what I have hear to help your own projects.
