Franka Solida III - overview



The following squares have been taken with this very camera in the video above. No cropping whatsoever. Film was an expired Fujichrome NPH400, developed in C-41. Colour tint is either from expiry or from scanner. I might fix that.

  1. Hi Noah, thanks for your Franka Solida tutorial. One question: does the flash is in sync to X? Many old cameras have sync to M, which results in partially exposed frames if you use a modern flash (and not flash bulbs). Thanks again! Jean-Marc

    1. Hi Jean-Marc, many thanks for your comment. The shutter is a standard and doesn't have an M/X switch. I have tested it with the Canon 430EX II like I said in the video and the results came out perfect, so I suppose you can safely treat it like an X. I hope this helps.

  2. Thanks. I bought this camera today and couldn't work out how to open the back until I watched your excellent tutorial!

  3. dear sir , I've stumbled upon your very nice presentation on you tube . I've got a question , if you would not mind , is the Radionar sharp enough for portraits at about 12/14 feet @ f.5.6 ? I know a bit about Herr Schneider's lenses but nothing about Radionar . he made some good triplets not well known today. my camera is new , I mean new , but the frenchie seller did not mention that the shutter does not work at all ! if you know someone in England or even Wales who could repair it , I'd be extremely grateful , as being stuck in Israel now , no sod here is able/willing to work on a mechanical camera . very nice photo that with the red phone booth , but too small for me to be able to ascertain the overall sharpness of the Radionar . thank you .
