Hello All

My first camera was a Box Brownie. Got it for Christmas in about 1960 and still have it and some of the photos as well. Try that with digital.
Some time later moved up to a Zenith B which I also still have. Wish I had kept my TR2.
Now mainly use a Nikon Coolpix AW110 for convenience and a Nikon D90.

I do not have the artistic eye just get lucky sometimes and get a good shot.

Was on a Nikon site for a while but it could get so nasty and they seemed to look down on anyone who asked a simple question.

Looking forward to reading and maybe posting here.

David

Welcome aboard David. Have you used the Brownie recently? Does it need new seals to keep the light out and can you even get parts for that?

Welcome, David. There will be none of the "attitude" here.

Welcome aboard David! I know this place is slow, but hopefully it will grow like BCF did.

Thank you.

I have not used the Brownie in a very long time. Getting film could be a problem now. It is more a sit around piece now.

Looks like you can use regular 120 film.
