Ok, it's really not a battle. MORE LIKE A SHOWDOWN!! Ok, not that either. This is my own personal challenge but would love it if anyone else here would like to share their results. Over the last month I have torn down, cleaned, & lightly repaired my old box cameras that went from sitting on a shelf in my office for 10 years to sitting in a box in the cellar for another 10. I have played with toy/box cameras in the past, but very little, & with none of these.
This is not a challenge or a test or a critique. This is mostly just to check & see if the cameras work & if the limited controls can produce decent results. If I were anyway serious I'd at least use the same film in each camera, but I'm not. In fact, I've made it a point to shoot these 5 cameras with 5 different films just for fun. The films I'll be using: 620=Portra 160, Tmax 100, Provia 100 120=Ektar 100, Ektachrome 100. Three of the cameras must use 620 film, one can use an altered roll of 120 & the last can hold a roll of 120 with plastic adaptors.
This entire thing will probably take a month or two, depending on how much time I have (not to mention $$, this going-back-to-film thing is not cheap). So, please post any shots taken with any old, cheap camera. They don't need to be recent pics.
The cameras are : L-R Kodak Duaflex IV, Brownie Target Six-16, Argus Seventy-Five, Brownie Hawkeye, & Kodak Duaflex II.
THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff.
