Pictures taken with a 1930s Kodak Brownie Boxcamera
The pictures in this gallery are the first roll of film I ran
through my first Brownie box camera, the Brownie 2F that was bought in an old little
camera shop. The shop actually only sold old movie stuff but also had my
little Brownie in the shop window. They had not known it was really mine :o)
My first camera was an Agfa
Click II (not the more popular Clack) which also used 120 roll film so I was familiar
on how to load it. Many pictures are overexposed though, the reason
being that the camera was made so long ago when the film was a
lot less sensitive. Since this was a sunny day the normal f16
rule would apply (ISO 100 = 1/125 shutterspeed at f16) but since
the shutterspeed is fixed to 1/35 - 1/50 I should have selected
a smaller aperture.
Unfortunately I also left the potrait lens on, did not know there
was one on until a little later when it came off.
Ah well, I had learnt something again...
