It's really more of a box camera then a twin lens reflex but it is used like a TLR. A classic bakelite art deco Kodak from the 1950s. I paid a premium for it — $13. I could have bought one at Senior Thrift in Freeland for $10 and saved shipping but this one is mint and comes with the box and 5 flash bulbs. Flash bulbs go for $1 apiece at J and C Photo. It uses 620 film, also available at J and C Photo but some of the Hawkeyes will accept 120 using the 620 take-up spool. I'll find out when it gets here. Fun!

The first picture was taken with the original flash attachment and it's old "25B" flashbulb (Sylvania Blue Dots for Sure Shots). My wife snapped the shutter; and then, after the astounding conflagration, exclaimed "It's smoking.".To which I replied: "Yes. Isn't it wonderfull?".
