another tlr
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 Brownie Hawkeye Experience
| 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?".
