Yep. I was rocking the Holga today too. I started a roll of film last week in Alexandria and DC and decided to go out shooting a few other cameras today. I finished the roll on the way to the museum and at the museum too.
Today was shoot old film cameras day. Next on the hit parade was a Kodak Duoflex. This camera is a Twin Lens Reflex camera. It only has one shutter speed. It has 3 apertures and you set the range similarly to the Tourist camera in the last post. It’s interesting for both of these that you have to kind of guess what exactly will be in the frame.I went out to the Dover Air Force Base Air Mobility Command Museum and shot this roll of film.Got some cool stuff!
A colleague at work gave me a Kodak Tourist Camera from the late 40s. It is all manual, and a lot slower to use than a modern camera. You have to set the shutter speed, the aperture and the distance the subject is from the camera. Then you cock the shutter, look through a view finder that is a close approximation of what will be on the negative. The negative is 6×9 cm. It’s huge! I wasn’t sure if the camera would function, especially if the bellows on it was still light tight. No worries!
