Pinholing Around The House




This roll of film actually started out on a walk through the Botanic Garden.  When I clicked the shutter it fired at about 1/20 rather than the 30 seconds I intended.  I tripped the shutter again with the same result.  So I completed the walk with my Retina II.


Back home, I removed the film from the pinhole camera in my dark bag, and then opened up the Vario shutter to see if I could get it operating properly in Bulb mode. After studying the repair manual I found online and looking at a nice series of images by P F McFarland I disassembled the part of the linkage that seemed to control the bulb setting.  I slightly bent one of the components and reassembled the shutter.  Somewhat to my surprise the shutter seemed to be working fine, so I finished off the roll at home.
