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...
