Posted - Aug 05 2007 : 11:06:18 PM I've tried IDCC mailing list with this question but no one had answered...
How would I take pictures with FKD using supplies available in USA? Does anyone know where to get the sheet film slow enough to be able to use it without an actual shutter?
Any responses would be appreciated. Thanks, Vlad

Posted - Aug 17 2007 : 11:31:47 AM It is truly amazing that this camera has been around for $100 years... only in Russia... lol :)...
So where would one acquire certain shutters for use in FKD? And where can I find sheet film to use with it?
Can someone suggest any sites/retail outfits in USA?
Thanks, Vlad

Posted - Aug 09 2007 : 08:44:47 AM For those FKD there are curtain shutters, square and round shutters all built for them. If you want I can send pictures of them. But the main use of these cameras are not exactly as field users, once they have limited compensating movements.But to be used in Studio where you can control the lights. About this camera: FK and FKD -- Pehaps a record in camera design; The first one seems to be a I. Steffen (St. Petersburg) camera of 1890 and the last one the F.F.H. (Fotofabrika Harkov) -1989/1990 something like 100 years in production and demand! Do tou know another one? The slight modifications include plastic knob tips and the bellows materials.
