Kodak Autographic 3A Special - Restoration HD 720p

The Autographic 3A Special was a top of the range camera that Kodak produced a 100 years ago. The big attraction was the large, postcard size negatives and, in the case of the Special, a coupled rangefinder that enabled accurate focus. If you can find one in reasonable condition, notably with an intact bellows and clean lens, it is possible to convert it to 120 roll film and, if you have lucked in to a lens that still performs well, superb images can be produced. Here I describe how my camera was restored and converted to 120 film and give examples of the images that can be produced. A more detailed account of the restoration and conversion is given in my blog site at celebratingclassiccameras.blogspot.com .
