Great job, Ismael. I have determined by running many rolls of 120 through my Brownie that starting at Frame #3 and advancing 2 1/2 frames for subsequent exposures leaves you with six nicely spaced frames to be developed. If you find yourself not able to see the frame numbers for whatever reason, turning the advance knob 5 half turns is equivalent. Marking one of the advance knob arms with a dab of nail polish or sleeving it with a bit of shrink wrap willl assist with the proper counting of turns. - Jack

Hello,

Took two of the Brownies for a spin today. The No2A Model B (~1911) and the No2 Model D (~1916)

In order to ensure tracking of which roll was from which camera, I went to 2 different places. Each camera was used in a different location.

No2A was used in the lighthouse and No2 in Amador beach.

No2A

No2

Thanks,
Ismael

Looking good, Ismael!

Beautiful locations for the test shots. Like Mark, I'm looking forward to the results

Pretty tasty, I must admit. Good work with the hammer and nails - er, you'll forgive me if I don't ask you to fix my K10D, will you ?

Hello,

PICTURES!

Just got the negatives back from this camera test along with 2 others. It seems to me the development may had have some issues because areas like the sky are blotchy. Not sure but I don't think the camera can cause that.
Home scans. Some of the edges may look soft but that is due to negative curling and my old scanner's inability to keep them flat.

Regardless I'm VERY happy to see such an old camera well over 100 years old producing images again!

Posting the results of the others as well.

What do you think?

Thanks,
Ismael

These are awesome, Ismael. Don't worry about any inconsistencies - they're what make the results unique and oh-so-attractive, IMHO. Nice work, and great results!

Awesome, Ismael ! The best of the lot for me is the last one with the surf braking on the promontory. That is a nice, clean development on that frame.
