The first Brownie was a very significant camera in the history of photography. It changes the way people take picture. Also, the No.2 was introduced with a new type of roll film, the 120 film of which still being made today and now know as medium format film.
I have soft spot for the Kodak Brownie box cameras after I picked up my first Brownie about 10 years ago, a No.2 Model E. Every since then I kept an eye out for nice Brownie and other box cameras.
And here is the first test roll from my new "old" Kodak Brownie No.2 Model F (1924-1933) all 8 frames from it (it is 6X9 format and you only get 8 shots per roll) After I did some restoration on it, cleaning, glued back the mirror in one of the view finder and etc the camera still work fine after all these years. (Picture of the camera coming soon)

It arrived today!! This is my new Lubitel 166B.
As you might have figured out, I really like old, Russian cameras Hey! I can't help it. They have a certain charm.
It is a twin lens reflex camera (rather than a single lens reflex - "SLR", as in "DSLR", the term you're most likely heard in the past few years). As you can see, it has two lenses on the front. The bottom on takes the picture, the top one is the view finder. It is a single lens with no directional adjustment so the picture is flipped. This doesn't personally bother me (I'm an astronomer- I conquered that brain puzzle years ago) but it does kind of help separate yourself from the image a bit and focus on composition.
I shot a test roll today and developed it! So much fun! I'm not sure if I did something wrong or if dear Lubbi has a bit of a light leak, I'll have to shoot some more to find out. :) Expect some groovy square images from me very soon!! -- it is a 6x6, which means the negative is square. It is nice to get away from the rectangle format we all know so much. (That may be why I like Chaika, too --- different kind of rectangle.)

This year I visited the Brooklyn Navy Yard. An old navy yard with long history that have been converted to commercial spaces.
Again this year photography wise I decided to go with my Hasselbald 500 C/M, 50mm, 80mm and 150mm set, and left my digital home. So, all were done on film. It was a fun afternoon walking around and taking pictures in there.

Zeiss Triotar Vs. Schneider Xenar. The Zeiss Triotar is more common on previous model but not often seen and rare on the III model.
They are both coated. But different design and coating process. As you can see the different color of the coating. And yes they produces different result also. I haven't really compared them but from what I've heard the Xenar is sharper.
