Very special camera. The film 120 was introduced in the market for the Brownies! The same film that fits Rolleis and Hasselblads nowadays. Only that, makes her historically interesting. Although I don't know for how long the 120 film will survive the digital. The red one is in excellent condition and was a gift from a friend of mine. I have also a black , also a gift from a friend.Recently I found a blue in Ebay an here they are. The lens is simply a meniscus with a rotary shutter. You have three options for diafragm sliding a blade with holes on it. It clicks on the right spot. Speeds are B or something around 1/30
Here is one page of the owners manual with times for indoors photography:



When the walls are white, with full sun outside and at least two windows are open one can take pictures with 2 seconds time using the bigger diafragm (f16, f20 and f32 are available). For out doors only with sunny days one can use the shutter in position "instantanées". Otherwise B is a must. Not easy.

The idea of Kodak with these cameras was to make photography affordable to everybody. So, together with cameras, they marketed all that was needed to allow amateurs to go from shooting to final printing at home and without a darkroom. You can see their proposition for film development at my page: Kodak Film Tank

Not even electricity was a must to record one's vacation. Kodak marketed also enlargers using daylight. Have a look at Pigeon safe light

Another interesting accessory was the Kodak Amateur Flash Outfit that is even included in the camera manual.

Here you have pages 2 and 3 of owners manual:



The blue and the red were made in Great Britain and the black one in USA. Find more information about Brownies and its interesting print advertising at: The Brownie Camera Page



Finally some pictures I took with the red one. Whenever I look at them I find the quality yielded by these cameras simply astonishing.
