Kodak 35 RF No. 2

This is my second Kodak 35 RF, which I bought about 5 or 6 years ago. I had one just like it as my first camera and liked it so well, that I bought this one to use since my first one no longer works.

Another picture of my second Kodak 35 RF. It's been around since it was made in 1948, but it still performs admirably.

A shot of my old Kodak 35 RF rangefinder 35mm camera. It was made in 1948, needs no batteries whatsoever and works excellently! This is my second one, as my original is now retired because it stopped working. I probably need to get it cleaned.

A huge mansion known locally as "The Castle." It was built in the late 1800's, in Carmi, Illinois. I'll bet it would have been nice to live there in the 1800s, when there were no cars constantly driving past and a slower, laidback lifestyle.

Another in my series of scenic areas in and around Southern Illinois. This is the Big Wabash River, at the border between Illinois and Indiana, while on the road to Evansville, Indiana.

I've been using Kodak 35 RF cameras for almost 40 years and this is the first time I ever shot black and white film in one.
