Hi Frank: That Bergheil brings back memories, my dad had one and it used plates, he was told at the time it would not be worth converting to sheet film. Sorry I didn't keep it. Don |

Welcome Frank,
Speaking of Ensigns, I have an Ensign Greyhound
with pinholes in bellows and sticky shutter,
but it will burn up some more 120 film one day !
Saved a few dozen empty spools from the 1960's ,
some are even wood !
