F11 on a Kodak 2A, c1920

The Kodak 2A Folding Autographic Brownie, made between 1915-1926. I found it at a car boot sale yesterday, and thought I'd share this photo with MM today.

 

Taking off the glass lens at the front, it's interesting to look at the mechanisms and controls available 100 years ago - including the shutter diaphragm and above that, the 10 aperture blades. It's set to f11.

 

Plus all the brass lettering and numbers. As this is a close-up macro (the front isn't as large as it is made to look here!), it doesn't include the exposure time controls to the right. I’ve posted another photo (next) showing all the front controls.
