Whilst it's no doubt a classic camera, I don't think this really ranks as a vintage model. The 1B wasn't made before the 1959, so it's hardly even older than me!
My own Kodak lens (an Anastigmat probably from the 1930s) got tried out for the first time earlier this month - also providing some fun, even though I cheated & used it with digital, though I did at least use bellows.
(I don't have the original camera - or even know what it would have been used on.)
I do plan to try out more old fashioned photography this summer, using an M42 Zenit that I picked up for £5 with an unused B&W film. Later I might even try out blending my own processing chemicals (A book I got recently has a collection of alternative recipes) & I fancy printing directly onto a tee shirt... But I guess I'm just a mad chemist.
Hope you have fun going back to basics
