1937 Kodak Junior six-20 Series II (Resto+Research)

That's funny. I picked up an ME that had an ugly camo patterned felt that someone had replaced the leatherette with. It was a prime candidate for a new leatherette kit. When I went to remove the little self timer lever it popped off in my hand. Looks like whoever put the felt on must have turned the screw the wrong way and broke it, they then reattached it with superglue. When I finished putting the new leatherette on, I superglued the lever back in place. Note to self...never use that feature.😃

Hello,

Pardon the crappy cell phone pic (pretty crappy huh?)

Both the Kodak Pony 135 Model A and the Kodak Junior Six-20 went out today and survived a roll each.
They have submitted their graduation tests: Kodak Gold 200 and Portra 160 (respooled for 620) respectively.
Heading to the post office first thing in the morning.
The 127 squad; Brownie Starflex and Vest Pocket Kodak, the first two graduates of this year, proudly watch in the background.

*EDIT*

Thanks,
Ismael

Hello,

WOW!
My brain just blew up! I can't believe my eyes! Take a look. (Comments after the pictures)

Kodak Junior six-20 Model II - PORTRA 160 film respooled from 120 to 620

1/100, f16, infinity focus

1/100, f11, infinity focus (light leak? internal reflection?)

1/100, f6.3, focus set at 25ft

Bulb(~3 s? did not record it) , f32, focus set at 25ft

Info not recorded but similar to previous one

Bulb (~12 seconds), f22, (it was really dark) focus set at infinity (Those are flood water level marks)

OOOPS! Double exposure when in the excitement you forget to advance to the next frame. Can't blame the camera. This one's on me.

1/100, f11, focus set at 50ft. Handheld. A hint of motion blur.

These are all 8 exposures of the roll. Untouched scans just downloaded minutes ago. Only resize and added signature. Negatives in transit. Since these are 620, scans could be slightly cropped and the images could be a hint wider. We'll see when they get back. Some light leaks. Will analyze to see if from camera or if they could be from the respooling process. Keep in mind the preferred shutter speed was set at 1/100 but it really is about 1/60 as per bench tests.

I AM HAPPY!!!!

Thanks,
Ismael

That first picture is absolutely jaw dropping. I am sure you are grinning from ear to ear.
