Well done Geoff, I think it is always worth preserving old cameras, and one of the best ways of keeping them in good condition is to use them.

I have the 6.5x9 version of the Soho and after a good clean up it works very well. I use a couple of Rada 6x9 roll film backs - though you do have to take care which lip will fit, and adapt if they don't. But with a new ground glass from Vist.lt in Lithuania, and a new front surface mirror from eBay's marty1107 in California (both very reasonable on pricing) it's quite (almost) a pleasure to use.

I have a 5x4 Soho Reflex that needs restoring. I get my mirrors made or re-coated in London by Vacuum Coatings Ltd, focus screens are not an issue as I've made rather a lot over the past 10+ years.
Unfortunately the Sojo Reflex is just one of many awaiting restoration, I need to find some plate/film holders for it/ I've a couple of Rada 6c9 roll film holders one NIB with a 6x6 mask, and maybe 8 Rollex 6x9 backs some came with cameras. Ian |
