Vigilant/Crown hybrid

The newest iteration of what was previously the Windsor/Graphic hybrid: Crown Graphic Body with the lens and shutter from the Kodak Vigilant Junior Six-16. This defeats the motivating goal of working exclusively with with cheap, single-element plastic lenses, but it gives us a better sense, I think, of the mechanics of piecing together different camera parts. We had pretty pronounced light leaks with the Windsor/Crown.

 

NOTE: The lens here is not rimmed in red. The bright red watering can on the front porch was reflected here.
