Re: Posing while holding a gun/rifle

I took my first "selfie" when I was 7 with a Kodak brownie camera.
That was 54 years ago.
I was imitating a photo of my Dad that he took in the mirror well before I was born.

It's really not a new idea at all.

Was it a Brownie? That's what my parents had.

They had one of them too, it was an old one that my father had for years, but it wasn't what I remember them using in the 70s to take pictures.

I wish I had still had that Brownie. I'll bet it would be worth something today.

Not at all, funny, Turtle. I thought you weren't a fan of violence?

violence when properly applied has its benefits. That's why I am usually armed
 
Re: Posing while holding a gun/rifle

Probably not. They can often be found in thrift stores, quite cheaply.




Most of the larger ones used type 620 film, which hasn't been made for a long time. However, you can often get 120 film to work in them. The film is exactly the same; the spools are just a bit different. A 120 film in a 620 camera might occasionally not stay in place. I would recommend having a changing bag handy of you need to open the camera and put the spool back in place.

I expect that 120 will be the next-to-last film format to go away, with standard 35mm film (also known as 135) to be the very last. 120 is used in very expensive, high-end medium-format cameras, such as those for which Hasselblad has been the best-known brand.

I'll never go back to film though. I still have a Canon sure shot, and two rolls of 35mm undeveloped photos of I don't know what on them. I like digital, easy to use.
