alandash Posted January 31, 2013 Share #1 Â Posted January 31, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have a Kodak 116 box camera whose meniscus lens has terrible flare and vignetting, but no chromatic aberration that I can detect, since it is only for black & white. It will be a back-up for a Leica M Mono, for my trip to the Himalayas. Â Where can I get the lens 6-bit encoded ? I'm having a devil of a time locating the bayonet mount holding that lens to the camera. I tried calling Kodak and asking for the fellow that sold the camera to my grandfather, but nobody knew where he was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

earleygallery Posted January 31, 2013 Share #3  Posted January 31, 2013 I suggest you simply revert to using film in the Box camera.  Here's some advice which should help you;  Using 120 film in your 116 film camera. - Photo.net Classic Manual Cameras Forum  Of course it does mean carrying an extra camera, but then the box camera is probably lighter than an M mount adaptor for the lens (if you can find one!!), and I'm pretty sure that the Kodak Box cameras didn't have electronic shutters or metering so you also have a handy back-up camera if your MM should fail.  Next question, do you have a bag which will fit your Leica and Kodak cameras?
