My Father's Camera

West Virginia

My mother found this in a closet and gave it to me. Luckily, it still has an original spool in it so it can be adapted to use 120 film. Can't wait. I know the photos he took with it were really super.

1/250s f/16.0 iso3000 full exif

I love those old cameras. Like many, my first camera was a similar Brownie, later model, but similar principles. I am really looking forward to seeing the photos you take with this. V

what a treat, and good luck with pix...my first camera was a later model, the Brownie Starflash...not a sophisticated instrument, yet it awakened my interest in photography..

The vintage feel of this image is perfect for that 40s Kodak. I'm looking forward to some pictures taken with it. V
