| In March 2003, I inherited a pair of Kodak Brownie box cameras that once belonged to my grandparents and great-grandparents. They both seem to be in good working order, so I've been eager to try them out. |
| According to what I've read, both cameras were made sometime in the early 1910's. The smaller one is a No. 2 Folding Pocket Brownie Model B, and the larger one is a Folding Brownie Model 3-A. |
| The No. 2 Brownie takes 120 film, which is still commonly available, and I've already taken it out for a few shoots. It has an intermittent light leak that I've been trying to block with some masking tape, but otherwise it works very well. The Model 3-A takes 122 film, which you can only get from a couple of specialty dealers. I haven't ordered any yet, but I plan to eventually. |
| Here are some shots that I've taken so far. Check back in the future, as I'll be adding more. |
