Camera guys... I need your help.

[Brian*]

I have these two old ass cameras... I want film for them but have NO clue on where to begin that search. Help me out here, one is a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye, and the other is an old Kodak Anaston from the late 60's early 70s... I asked my dad about the Anaston and he said it might use 620 film??

Here are some pics of them, they are pretty cool... Nothing expensive but i think they could turn out some cool looking pictures.

First is the Brownie Hawkeye...

The Kodak Vigilant Six-20 was a folding camera made in the USA by Kodak from 1940 to 1948. It took 6x9cm images on 620 film.The Vigilant series shared a common body with the Kodak Monitor series. The main difference was that the Vigilants had a simplified top and completely manual film advance; you needed to watch the small red window in the back of the camera to make sure that you didn't advance past the next number else you risked overlapping exposures or losing a picture. Cameras equipped with f/4.5 105mm Kodak Anastigmat lens and Flash Kodamatic shutter. An old style waist-level reflex viewfinder was located on the lens mount.




Ok, maybe I was off by about 20 years lmao!! Thats awesome stuff man, thanks for that info*

No problem, man. Did you see the link I provided for the first camera just above?

Cool that you have some old ass cameras. Later, QD.

Yeah, I didn't realize that one was that old either... The blue is sic, but I guess it never went into production like that.

My grampa left them to me before he died and I just now remembered them and dug them out, they still work I just need the film now.

"CONGRADULATIONS!!!" it says at the end of all that info.

This makes me want to take pics of a 1970s car with 1974 camera, although these are much older, cool stuff. When you get pics, make sure to get the film scanned on a high res scanner and post them up here! I want to see what she can do! (they might be a little um.... not so light proof, and have exposing problems, and the shutter may stick or the aperture blades not quite all work, etc. so expect to go through a lot of rolls of film getting the technique just right) If you have a DSLR, or a high end point and shoot camera, I suggest you use them as a light meter, as there is no good affordable "light meter only" light meter on the market anymore because of all cameras having them built in. So what you'd do, is take your modern digital camera, and hold the shutter halway, or just take the picture. then go into "info" on the screen, and look at the ISO, shutter speed, and aperture of the shot. Do a little math of F/Stops (move up one stop in ISO, you'll have to move either the aperture or shutter speed down one stop, or each 1/2 stop, etc.) then you'll know how the photos will come out with the same settings on the film cameras based on the ISO of 620 film you're using. Hope this helps.

For sure man, ill post some stuff up as soon i get film!
