My first SLR with a built in meter mine got lots of use about 275 rolls of film, lot of use with outside exposure. The meter uses a silver oxide cell not a mercury one.
The dual metering will require you to think about the lighting & which meter option you want to use.

There were times that Kodachrome was made in 120 film size.

I the 50's & 60's Kodak 35mm cameras had very good lenses but poor unreliable shutters. I is hard to find the cameras now days that have still workable shutters, or even shutters that can be cocked on many of the models. The complex ones had all kinds of ways to go bad, even the simple ones may not work right. The box cameras & low end Instamatics with single element plastic lenses can't take sharp pictures, low end 35mm cameras like the Kodak Pony could take very sharp pictures.
When Kodak resumed manufacture, or did it buy 35mm cameras from other manufactures with their labels on them
they had mechanical problems or even problems with plastic parts breaking. Which is sad because Kodak had been a major seller of plastic. But even with the simple (fixed focus) 35mm cameras they could take much better pictures than the junk 35mm cameras that many sold.

It takes 620 film. 120 film can be rolled onto 620 spools.

I am sorry for the late replay, I didn't read these posting until a few days ago. There were some strange answers, but I think a few answers hinted athow the pictures were made.
I have a camera that has a mode called digiwide that will put 2 pictures together in the camera.
This is may 2nd attempt to make a picture like the original post.
I could also put the 2 pictures together one on the top of the other.
And done as intended lining the ghost image in the viewfinder up for the 2 nd shot.

This is often the case and these allen wrench head bolts are quite often metric - it is important to have the proper size to keep from stripping/ruining it
Have you done a internet search about your specific problem and model of tripod. Often there is an answer.

Manfrotto - Bogen tripods are metric.
The 5/16" nut driver works because it is so close to 8
mm. If use need to replaced any bolts or nuts you will want to look for metric sizes to replace the lost ones.

I understand Pentax cameras turn the IS system (shake reduction) off if the IR remote control is used to release the
shutter.

"Butt Load".
A butt is a wine cask that holds 2 hogsheads or 126 US gallons. I think my slide negatives, CD's I saved digital files on, & prints would probably fill one hogshead barrel.

It is hard to find things in the US that are made in the Us.
I replaced by up stairs bathroom sink last year, over 98% of the content in dollar amount was not made in the US. Only some pipe pieces to connect the water pipes to the shut off valves under the sink were US made. Even the American Standard faucets were made in Mexico. The bowl, stone top & back splash were all made in China.

These look like the minicams of the 1940's & 1950's that took 16 exposures on 127 film (30x40mm). The Lomo cameras look like someone reworked the molds for one of these old bakelite cameras.

You have done a splendid job! I know that a modern closeup/macro is more practical, but that looks so much more fun! My wife thinks I am nuts, but you are a true enthusiast!

The lens probably has 2 groups each being a 3 element group cemented together, each group is a anastigmat, the lens should be symmetrical meaning the front & back groups are identical but pointed in opposite directions. It should be good for a closeup lens.

If you could zoom into the pixel level of a true raw file each pixel would be only one color some level of red, blue or green, there would be no white pixels.

I have a old Spiratone 12mm fisheye lens there is no way that the image quality on a digital camera will match what it can do on a film camera. On the other hand you will not see a difference with long lenses that were designed for film cameras.
