The Reddit power should definitely help you to dig into some details of your film

I think the Best camera for this tiny lens is the pentax Q, and could be used for macro with tubes

My shutter is cocked still won't take picture, also tried it by pushing the little lever, it clicks but the counter ring does not move!

Hey I just picked up one of these and I want to get it up and running, is there any way you could assist me with any advice or anything?

Great Video! Thanks so much!

what a cool project , thank you for sharing

Hey! I just purchased the same model but I'm currently looking for a stepup ring. Is there any chance you could link yours? I haven't been able to find anything

So... 2 years later could you find the family? Hope have a positive feedback! Thanks for this kind of information

Excellent video - Just subscribed

I just clip the new filmspool with a nailclipper so it can fit but always use a original taking spool it wil not work

Have you considered using Diafine 2-part developer? Any pros and cons?

I watched the portion with the pics first, skipping the back story, and thought “that looks like the desert of Southern California”, before I watched from the beginning and noted that the previous owner said they likely bought it from California. Growing up there, I’d say these were taken in Apple Valley, which had, and still has, trout farms geared for children. Pretty sure I went to this one in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s as a young boy. Apple Valley was a big draw for kids back then because it was the home of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. Very developed now, but very sparse back then.

The car appears to be an early 70’s Pontiac, maybe a Le Mans - the wheels and the nose of the car are almost identical.

This helped me to revisit my teenage memories! Thank you.

The one I have is similar but isn't quite the same, maybe a few years apart from yours or maybe mine's different for the European market. I tried to use it yesterday but the shutter button won't depress. The little chrome arm at the front below the lens can be used to fire the shutter but its very awkward especially on mine (since the mounting arms hold the whole pop out assembly from above and below rather than the sides). Can anyone help?

Awesome! Cheers from Poland

I have the No.2 Autographic folding brownie from 1917 that takes 120 rolls. It is pretty mint and has its supplimental closeup lens and is in its original box. I will load it up and take it out this autumn (fall to you). Now, where is the nearest waterfall? If I can do a video of my exploits I will post to my channel. Signed.. inspired 65yr old.

It is so amazing that you saved his film and met the photographer. Thank you for sharing the story.

Very awesome, thank you for taking time to save this film and making this video.

Gracias por el video, se aprende mucho!

While backpacking I came across a site which was being cleaned up and discovered a film canister with a roll of kodak slide film. I wonder if it is possible to get these developed still.

Wow nice👌

Seeing the photos of his grandmother made me cry. He captured such a beautiful raw emotion in a simple way. It's just a shame he never saw them sooner.

Well done! I recently purchased an Ansco Isolette camera that also had a roll of C-22 film. I was able to get 10 images from the film and they looked to be from the same time period. Some of the photos looked to be taken on a Civil War battlefield. I had purchased the camera on E-Bay from a seller in PA. So I guessed that it could be Gettysburg and was able to match the images to structures in Gettysburg! Some of the images contained people. I have messaged the seller to see if they know more. We'll see if the seller replies. I developed in Ilford Ifosol-3 and scanned the negatives with a Sony A7III.

70 72 Thunderbird?

Just bought an ERABOX ZEISS IKON from 1937 in a second hand store and guess what, it came with a roll of Kodak Verichrome 120 on an ADOX Metal spool with wooden core. I don't have any developer or experience doing this (just did it once in the university). I am holding the roll till I find someone in Sweden who can develop old films. Any tips or suggestions ? Cheers!

Great job. I hope to see move videos like this in the future.

Thanks for posting I couldn't figure out how to open the back

Hi. Great episode. A very nice experience when we buy a camera with a surprise. I recently bought a Minolta X-G9 at an auction with 135/24 FujiColor200 film but I didn't know and I opened the back cover, although I quickly bit it, it was a bit exposed. However, once developed, there are quite a few good photos of some old couple from everyday life. Possibly somewhere in the Netherlands. Now I bought an Agfa Isollette at an auction and inside there is an exposed Codacolor II C-41 negative. I don't know how to approach it, but I think it may be a film from the 70s. Can you tell me how to develop this film?

Thank you for this video! Very beautiful images!

Hi Joe, great work! We'd like to collaborate with you. Please let us know how we can contact you :)

I have watched this series with great interest, I've found it quite moving. The photos of his grandmother are fantastic, and the ageing of the negatives before development really adds something to it. Fantastic, absolutely brilliant. It's like she wanted to say hi to him in this very special way, It brought tears to my eyes. A wonderful true story. I look forward to hearing more about this. 🙂

What happened to Part 3B? You got me hooked!

Love these kind of stories

Get some 122 spools with backing and some newer kodak aerial film (color) and some older b&w aerial film then cut it to size and you got yourself some 122 film There was also the no4 cameras that used 5 inch wide film for 4x5 sizes and it should hold the film just fine

Looks very late 60s and early 70s... which jives with your guess of the timeframe. Also consider that film was just as expensive back then as it is right now. So that family could have taken those pictures over several months or even years. Even my family did that back in the day, taking a couple of pictures at a time until the whole roll is used up, then sending it off to get it developed.

A lot of people give Social Media a bad rep but these kinds of moments are exactly why Social Media is so great! It's a tool and some use it for bad. Loved this series :D

Hairstyles look like early 70s also.

This was super interesting. Thank you for creating this content. I have subscribed and notifications are turned on. I look forward to more!

I am the third

super happy with your video, i already tried a few times to develop old film but i had the same problems. I'm glad there was nothing wrong with my proses

So how does it work? I own a camera like this and want to use it but I have no idea how to even use it.

The car in one of the images looks like a Oldsmobile cutlass from 1971. i might be wrong but it seems to have the same kind of shape.

I enjoyed the video. I watched as research as I'm off to shoot my Thornton Pickard Ruby Roll Film camera this weekend. Wish me luck with my first roll.

Finally the info i was looking for. You have no idea how many videos i have watched lol What is that app called you were using on your phone? Looks alot better than the one i found.

I just bought a Kodak that take 616 film with film in it. From 1930's I think.

I recommend that you try and find a copy of the manual. They are readily available on internet. You will find out what the two red dots on the lens mean and what the mirror image of f stops mean.

Very good and beautifull image and câmera.

Brilliant Joe love trying old cameras I only ever shot one folder a few weeks back a ferania falco 2 was happy with the results new sub for ya mate cheers paul

Your CLA sure sorted all its issues. Its a beauty. Best wishes.
