Kershaw 630 - Folding 120 BEAST!
Not knowing what to expect I picked up this awesome folding camera from eBay!
The Kershaw 630 was built from around 1955 by Kershaw-Soho in Leeds, UK.
This medium format camera is solid as a rock and this one is in mint condition! amazing considering the camera is over 50 years old..
It comes with original leather case:
I have shot a few rolls of film and achieved some really interesting results, especially cross processed long exposures, will upload photos to flikr when i get around to scanning them in..
The Kershaw can only be used with a shutter release cable, the lens is 80mm/f6.3 stopping to f.22, shutter has speeds 1/25, 1/75, 1/200 and Bulb. 120 film / 6×6 negatives. The Lens Pops/Folds out at the push of a button, what a party trick!
Im really astounded by the quality of photos this antique camera can produce, they are softer than your average SLR but clearer than a holga, dianna or other plastic lens 120 cameras. The clarity of the images is beautiful..
Here are some images from the Kershaw, these are from the first rolln black and white KodakCN 400ISO B&W
This is from the second roll shot with the Kershaw, Fuji Pro 400 C41, daytime long exposure:
The latest roll from the beast is slide film E-6 cross processed as C-41. I love the results:
