Is it working?
The Brownie Cresta 3, which I used in week 246, was made between 1960 and 1965 and was one of the workhorses of family holiday snapshots well into the 1970s.
This one was £2 at a local market, and was in its original box and still had a film in it. The film was on exposure 11 out of 12, so I wound on, took the last frame and then developed the film to see what was on it.
Frame 11 is a double exposure featuring me peering into the lens to see if the shutter worked, frame 12 was taken a couple of hundred yards from the market.
The film was Kodacolor II, which was introduced in 1973, I developed it in the Tetenal C41 kit.
