Kodak Brownie Six-20 Model F (UK)
I bought this camera at Portobello Road Market during my trip to London.
This is a British made 1955-1957 Kodak Brownie Six-20 Model F. This camera take 620 film with single shutter speed "I" plus "B" setting, two prongs flash contact and tripod mounts.
What make this British made special among other Brownie cameras including many made in the US is that it is a better made and have two special features, the first is the built in close up lens and second is a yellow filter to be use with B&W. Both accessible via two brass slides on the side of the camera. The built in close up lens for taking picture with subject between 5 to 10 feet really set this Brownie apart from other Brownie cameras and it works nicely as you can see from the pictures from my first test roll from this camera.
This particular one is in very good condition with working shutter. And it cleaned up nicely as you can see in the following pictures in this album.
