I took these photos to show a friend what an old Kodak No.2 Brownie film camera looks like.

#1 Front View - Exif

#2 Side View - Exif

Probably would work with a bit of TLC.

Enjoy.

Great shots of an oldie. It's amazing how far things have come with cameras. If it weren't for digital I don't think many of us would be into photography as much as we are, especially with the cost of developing the old film. Thanks for the reminder of the old days.

Thank you Angelb.

There are times when I want to try it out and see all what comes out. Sadly I don't have the gear or the know-how to process the film for it.

The 2A Folding Autographic, if I'm not mistaken? While it may still work, where are you going to find 117 rollfilm? Lovely shots, thanks for sharing them. I'm not swapping my DSLR for one though!

Thank you!

Good question. You could probably modify one of the medium/large format film types to fit, but you would have to do that in a dark room (I think you need to load it in the dark anyway).
