Fakmatic Pro 35mm naar 126 filmadapter

Finally I can shoot fresh film in my grandmother's 126 camera instead of hunting down expired cartridges online. The adapter clicks in snugly and the camera's advance lever still works exactly like it should. Took me a couple of tries to figure out the loading, but once it's in, it's golden.

Loading standard 35mm rolls into my old 126 camera now actually works, and the film advances without jamming like my first attempt at a homemade hack did. The adapter seats firmly in the cartridge chamber, so I can finally shoot fresh stock in a camera that's been sitting on my shelf for years.

I've been using this adapter to shoot modern 35mm film in my vintage 126 camera, and the fit is impressively precise – no light leaks at all. It really preserves that classic winding and shooting feel.
