Another picture with the Beau Brownie
The Kodak Beau Brownie is a beautiful (as the name suggests :-)) small camera, made from 1930 till 1933. It has only one shutterspeed en 3 apertures and takes 6x9 images on 120 film. The two viewfinders are very very small; it is hard to compose your image. The lens is a fixed-focus uncoated doublet. The image-quality is not too bad.
Film is Ilford FP4+@125.
I used the middle aperture (said to be about F/16).
Stand-developement at home with Rodinal: pre-soak for 2 minutes, Rodinal 1:125 at 20C for 1 hour, inversions first 30 seconds, then one inversion after half an hour.
