The Kodak Hawk-Eye No. 2 Model C is a very simple and easy to use box camera that was marketed from 1926 to 1934. It takes 120 film. This video shows how to load it and how to take pictures. When using this camera, you need to be 8 feet away from the subject, outdoors, in daylight. You need to hold the camera still. On cloudy days I find 400 speed film to be best, in bright sun I will use 100 or 200 speed, but any of those speeds will give good results in most conditions.

Today a friend gave one of these to me. I did not know how to open it and just before i watched your video, i found out how to open it. I thought it is a Brownie but it is a Hawk-Eye. From what year are these? One empty film role is in it. I will clean it soon and arrange some N° 120 films. Regads from the Ardennes, Belgium ( Battle of the Bulge area). Thanks for yoir explaination. I also have the pouch with sling with the camera. Also very old , Brown leather with slightly rusted lock.

Really helpful video! I just picked on of these up today--it's my first film camera that uses 120 film. I'm having a hard time figuring out how many pictures I can take per roll, and what format/size it'll be developed at? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

This camera will take 8 photos per roll of 120 film. The aspect ratio of the negative will work for standard size prints like 3x5 or 5x7 inches. The actual size of the negative is 2-1/4 x 3-1/4 inches. Enjoy it and good luck!

My first medium format camera was an art deco Kodak Brownie that takes 620 film. Fortunately 620 is just 120 on a different spool. I just bought the film that was re-rolled for 620 from film photography project. I did just picked up a number two brownie that takes 120 film natively. Very cool vintage cameras. Currently they're the only medium format cameras I own.

Can you hold the lever upwards for a longer exposure?

QUESTION: Should I clean the lens on this camera or is that even possible? My camera appears in near mint condition externally. Great video, thanks

You can very gently and carefully clean the lens if it is dirty. Use cotton swabs and glass cleaner, or lens wipes. Don’t scrub. At the end buff gently with an old worn T-shirt. You can use the cotton swabs to get past the shutter on the front. These cameras were not made to be disassembled but it is possible.
