| So many box
cameras were produced by various companies it would be difficult to
list them all. They are extremely common and can be picked up for as little
as £1. These three are all Kodak examples, from left to right: No.0
Brownie c1915, No.2 Brownie made from 1901 until 1933 and a No.2 Rainbow
Hawkeye, although this example is boringly black - rather than one of the
coloured versions. The No.0 takes 127 film, No.2 takes 120 which was introduced
for it, so it's claim to fame might well be that. The No.2 Hawkeye uses
120 again. All have similar basic rotary shutters giving speeds of instant
or timed. Since these simple Box cameras vary little in overall terms, we
chose the middle one from above for the rotating view. |
