Maybe consider the flip of this.... what others have. Lens adapt the 6x7 and 645 lenses for your favorite flavor of digital camera wether that is mirrorless or DSLR for the time being. Fotodiox makes all kinds of adapters for glass now. I have the Asahi branded 6x7 to PK mounts and that is my magic combo for all my K3 shooting. The image circle is so huge that you get the best part of the lens beam angle, all over the sensor. someday if Ricoh decides go go 24x36 full frame (35mm style) then we still get the benefit.

Batteries Plus has the Lithium Ion battery 6 volt just for that, at a recent cost point of $7-$8 . Not bad considering their life span. I just use those and keep on hand.
Duracell has them. Duracell PX28L 6V Lithium Battery. I am sure you've hunted high and low. Silvers are the older school one, some places you can not get.

Thanks. Look forward to some more learning. Always have to try to stay fresh, and even with old techniques made new again with different tech as it all evolves.

Hello,
Lets see:
1 x Leica R4 SP Mot4 With Motor Winder 50mm Summicron and 21mm Super Angulon
3 x Pentax 6x7s (120 film) I think family of lenses. Can not get enough of these lenses and put these on the digital cameras too!
2 x Graphflex Speed Graphic 6x9's with roll film backs and or slide backs (120 film) (these shoot good)
2x Pentax ME SUPERs with family of lenses. (had re worked a wile back, cleaned and they shoot good)
2x KRSP-Ricoh Super Programs (My first cameras in the 80s)
1 x Yashica D(120 film) TLR (Not sure when or why I got this)
1 x Argus Argoflex (120 film) TLR (Not sure when or why I got this)
Lots of junker 120s and some 620s.
Bergheil 5x7 folding camera Pat. 1890
Kodak JR (120) Folder (which has wonderful little lens and it does shoot good.)
One note within lot of crapper cameras is this collected one.
Rokuoh-sha-built Type 99 Handheld Aerial Camera (7.5×10cm image area)
(No never shot this, film is too odd ball to find) a copy of the American Fairchild F-8.
Fuji and Rokuoh-sha built for for Japanese Imperial Navy.
This is all my Junks I Thinks!
People should get a little film and put into old cameras and shoot some for fun and scan the neg or transparency and see how good an image you get. You'd be surprised!
(SLIDE OR TRANSPARANCY SCAN on a decent scanner and not the Expensive Drum Scan)
