I got the shutter working before I finished assembling it (but am skeptical that it's still working). And, while the film slipped a bit at first, I've got it winding properly now. (You have to manually advance the film after each photo unless you want a double-exposure.) The Isolette looks really cool! Have you tried asking around v/photography to see if you can get a hand with it?

Have you tried taking a photo with the Gakkenflex yet? Did it go as you planned? I really have no idea how the Gakkenflex works but I guess it's like any other older camera. You have to do everything manually. Can you by any chance post a picture you have taken with the Gakkenflex? I'm curious.

Yes indeed it looks cool. The only thing I know about the camera is that it requires 120mm film. It's also fold able, you can extend the thing where the lens is, which I think is really cool. I might post in v/photography later but since I gave the camera to my girlfriend and it's in the middle of the night where I live, I have to wait.
