Brownie and similar cameras

Am looking for some size 122 film for my Brownie 3A Folder. I need it for the backing paper and the spool. I'm going to get some 5inch aerial film and cut it down to fit. This camera is in great shape, has a really good lens.

Okay maybe colour film at the right time of day in a Brownie is fantastic... (see pictures in group)

Hello, folks. I just found this group forum . . . odd coincidence since I went out today and burnt up a bunch of film with a Brownie 2F, a 2E, and two No. 1 Panorams. I'm in the early learning stage with these old boxes, so I will be an attentive student here!

It'll be a lot nicer than the Holga, for sure. All of these old point and shoots are.

Hi all,

I just picked up a Brownie Starflex in nice condition with the flash.

I have a roll of 127 in the fridge waiting for this camera! Can't wait to see the results. I suspect it will give any Holga a run for their money...

I just finished cleaning my No.2 Brownie F and it only took one cup of coffee to do it. I made a replacement mirror and used a few dabs of flat black model paint to cover the shiny spots inside. I am going to use a roll of Ilford Delta 100 for a start, but I am thinking that Ilford Pan F 50 might work better. Also have some Kodak Portra 400VC and 160VC for color. So the first question is.... what is your choice of film???

Aw, I wish I had a model on hand like that. I bought a portrait lens to stick on my No. 2 Brownie(s), it came in a little tin and cost £0.25. Using bulb mode, some waxed paper and a candle, I figured the portrait lens means you can shoot no closer than about 5 feet.

Great warm up Sanders. Can't wait to see next step.

Okay, I made another foray into the
Wonderful World of Brownie -- a
Portrait Brownie from the UK. So
far as I can tell, it's a No. 2 Model
F with a built-in portrait diopter,
made only in the UK. I shot it today
up on the roof and posted a scan:

The blur isn't the lens -- it was a 1+
second exposure, and it was a very
blustery day so everything was in
motion, Melanie included.

John, You already blow my mind with your Graflex... I want to see what you are going to do with a Brownie !
