Kodak Special Six-20
Last week I acquired a Kodak Special Six-20 6x9 folder, with the Anastigmat Special lens. I'd been looking for a decent one for awhile (most have bellows like a sieve) and this one seemed like a decent candidate for restoration. (This is the camera: flic.kr/p/2mHW4G3)
This roll of test film was Tri-X 400, exposed at just under 200 ASA. The exposure here was 4 seconds at f11. The film was processed in Pyrocat HD.
The negatives are acceptable for an 80 year old folder of this caliber, but not as sharp as what my Medalist II produces. Still, its a perfectly usable camera.
Addendum: Today - 24 hours after making this photo - I can no longer access this part of the riverbank, as its under water. Probably be inaccessible until next May or June now.
