So I recently acquired a 1926 Agfa PD16 Clipper. From what I gather, the PD16 is a 116 half-frame and from my measurements the image is 6x5cm. I only got one 116 spool in the camera, so I would have to get another in order to respool 120 film. So what do I do? I found and downloaded a pattern for a set of adapters that will allow a standard 120 spool to fit into the 616 camera and sent that off to a friend who has a nice 3-D printer. Then I did some measuring and calculating because there are no 6x5 numbers on the 120 backing paper. So I will need to count turns on the winding knob. Here is what I came up with. Anyone have any direct experience doing this? I know some people put a 6x4.5 mask in the camera, but I really would like to see the 6x5 image area used.

I've got a 6x9 Adox Sport that was made some alterations. Someone drilled another hole to make another counter on the back on the side of the original counter and placed a piece of red plastic. It also has a metal square mask that can be removed. I guess it's an option but the camera will lose the originality though...
I found this one on the web, I believe is like yours?

Looks similar except that mine only has one window at the bottom of the back cover.

That is a great use of a 3d printer. We just used one to make a part for an old "daylight" projector screen. Better analog living through digital technology ;-)
