Hi Marv,
This lens must be from another, slightly earlier Kodak camera, right?
Maybe a Monitor or a Vigilant? By the time of the Tourist, they had renamed
the triplet lenses Anastons, although without changing them, I believe.

Marv,
Please let us know which lens is on your Tourist when you report your
results. Also, what is the diameter of the tubing you used to enlarge the
centering spindles for 120, and where did you get it? RKS

Just a couple of thoughts about modifying the old Kodak Tourist 6 x 9
folding cameras:
1. There is enough room in the filmbays to step up this camera to 120
rollfilm. Eight cast centering ridges (two sets top, two sets bottom)
need to be shaved off flush with the body casting.
2. The wind key
Marv,
I've done just what you're doing. Mine is the coated 3 element Anaston
in the Kodamatic shutter and works amazingly well. Find a lens shade!
Flares pretty badly into the sun. You're right, it's a lot of camera
for the money. Looks nice too.

Marv,
That's a hoot! I used the brass tube from the hobby store. Epoxied it
on! Well, if nothing else I can tell you your plan will work. f16 is
pretty sharp, f4.5 nice for partraits. You'll be pleasantly surprised,
I think. It's no Medalist Ektar, though.

About a year ago, in a hobby shop, I saw an assortment of brass and
aluminum tubing put out by a firm called KS. This was a large handfull
of shorts 4 - 6 long in a plastic bag. I think I paid less than

One thing I should coution you about is keeping the take up spindle
