Kodak Special Six-20, no. 2
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 1/2 second at f16. The film was processed in Pyrocat HD. The Anastigmat Special lens appears to perform better at f16 than any aperture larger than that.
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.
