Kodak Brownie No. 2 Model E Box Camera - Loading Film, Taking Pictures
I show how to load film in this camera and provide some tips on taking photos. This camera takes eight photos per roll of 120 film. After taking photo 1 you simply wind the film until the number "2" is visible in the red film window, take photo 2, then wind until you see "3" in the window and so on until you have taken the eighth photo.
The Kodak Brownie No. 2 model E was made from 1919 to 1924. When using this camera, you need to be 8 feet away from the subject, outdoors in daylight, or you can make a time exposure. 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 speed film. I find any film in the 100-400 ISO range will give...

    Thank you so much! I've got a few brownies but love using my blue portrait-2 , and it's got the classic upside down brownie loading and I completely forgot how to do it and this was a life saver! Can't wait to get back to using some 120mm, such a underrated format

    You could probably use the smaller apertures if you want to take a double exposure on purpose. I've heard it's better underexposed for double exposures. I've never tried a double exposure on a box camera.

    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.

      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.

    My Model D has a different latch and the rear window is amber instead of red.

    • @chrisschreiber8200
      @chrisschreiber8200 Год назад

      The amber window is a red one that has faded over the years. If you want to use the camera you can restore the color to the window with a red permanent marker.

    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!

    • @chrisschreiber8200
      @chrisschreiber8200 Год назад

      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.

    • @chrisschreiber8200
      @chrisschreiber8200 Год назад

      Just keep winding until all the film and the backing paper are wound on to the take up spool. You will feel the winding knob turning with less resistance. Then you can open the camera and take it out. Move the empty spool from the film you just shot from the top to the bottom, now it’s your new take up spool for your next roll of film!

      You have to be very careful as it is possible to scratch the glass with improper cleaning. Use lens wipes, Q-tips, glass cleaner and buff with a worn old T-shirt at the end. Be gentle.
