Leather Camera Case_A7R7552
I found an old 6x6 folding camera at an antique store. A Makinet Six that was meant for 120 film. I shot a roll of film in it but the light leaks put a foggy haze on all the frames. I didn't buy it to use anyway. It was made between 1934 and 1939 and it would be a little too optomistic to expect it to actually work well. I bought it more as a decoration to set on my camera collection shelf. I cropped my photo to a square that covers a 6cm x 6cm area and converted to black & white. Although a color roll film was available in 1935 (Dufaycolor) black & white was still faster and cheaper and would have been far more popular with the average photographer.
See the camera and case here.
HMM to all and as always thank you for any views, faves and possibly comments.
