New York Botanical Garden.

The first Brownie was a very significant camera in the history of photography. It changes the way people take picture. Also, the No.2 was introduced with a new type of roll film, the 120 film of which still being made today and now know as medium format film.

 

I have soft spot for the Kodak Brownie box cameras after I picked up my first Brownie about 10 years ago, a No.2 Model E. Every since then I kept an eye out for nice Brownie and other box cameras.

 

And here is the first test roll from my new "old" Kodak Brownie No.2 Model F (1924-1933) all 8 frames from it (it is 6X9 format and you only get 8 shots per roll) After I did some restoration on it, cleaning, glued back the mirror in one of the view finder and etc the camera still work fine after all these years. (Picture of the camera coming soon)

 

Camera: 1924-1933 Kodak Brownie No.2 Model F. Film: Fomapan 100. Developer: Kodak D76 1:1 10mins @ 20*C. Digital Conversion: Epson V550 scanner and Lightroom 6.
