Kodak No. 2A Brownie Model B

Kodak No. 2A Brownie Model B
This is an old Kodak box camera I've had since around 1977. It dates back to 1916 for when it was made, so it's over 100 years old! I dug it out last night with the intent of finally using it for the first time. I've used old box cameras before with 35mm film in them, but that left too much of the field of view unphotographed. I realized that 120 film all but fills up the area of view, so I put some Fomapan 400 black and white film in it to try it out. What I did was to cut some of the leader off in the dark and taped it inside the camera. By doing that, I should get more negative area to use instead of just the part where the numbers begin.

It was photographed on a table at least as old as is the camera. This table used to belong to my Great-Grandmother Sullivan.

Also ... I've commented on enough photos since I've been on Ipernity that unless you do a direct reply ... the odds of me seeing your reply is pretty small. About the only way I've found to do that is by opening up the photo's page. Replying from the activity page just lists it as a general comment. :-)

Yes, I usually do that, but I was trying to find a place where I could buy some 70mm film and wasn't thinking when I commented.

Some folks rewind bulk 120 film onto their 616 film spools. I've only got the one camera that uses 616. I've got a very expired roll of film in it I'm going to shoot and I'll probably never use that camera again.

Thanks for all those links - very fascinating! There's just so many avenues in photography to explore, do and have fun with!
