We’ve been meaning to do this for a while and have finally got around to it.

6×6

I’ve really missed shooting 6×6 film, and this lens will make sure I don’t stray again. I’m going to have to remind myself constantly not to just shoot at f/2 all of the time.

Finally I’ve managed to lay my hands on one of these beasts. I first noticed the Norita 66 when my friend ARI started showing some amazing work photographed with his. The Norita 66 is a medium format SLR film camera with a Noritar 80mm f/2 lens and shoots 6×6 format on 120 or 220 film. This lens is rumored to be the fastest lens ever made for the 6×6 film format. Norita Kōgaku ノリタ光学 was a Japanese binocular lens manufacturer that was founded in 1951. They started making the Norita 66 during the 1960′s and the version I have was a collaboration between Singer the owner of Graflex sold in the US as “Graflex Norita”. I’m currently shooting my first roll now so look out for some scans coming soon.
