Very informative. Would have been nice to see the pictures you took.
I have the rainbow model and instead of aperature values it has A B C D. I must have guessed correctly because it takes fantastic pictures I havent tried it with color film yet. It is the model that takes 120 film and the previous owner had new bellows put in it. It is great;
Thank you very much for making this video!
I appreciate the video. Just picked up a Kodak 3a Hawk-eye. Looking forward to using it.
Thank you for your video. I opened the camera, but now I can’t close it. Is there a trick on how to close it. I appreciate the help.
Bob. This was so interesting. I got my first old model camera for Christmas where is the button to capture the image? I was able to open it etc like the instructions how would u actually take the picture? Look through view finder and then what?
If you are looking down into the viewfinder with the camera in the portrait orientation (long side goes up and down) the shutter release is on the right side of the lens - it's a metal lever that you push down on until you hear a click. Looking from the front (as in the video at 3:32) the shutter release is attached to the lens housing in the upper left quadrant. It's a shiny metal lever opposite to the middle finger on my left hand. When you press the lever, nothing besides a quiet click will happen. You have to wind it to the next frame manually as in the video. Good luck with it 🙂
ty！very informative video
Thank you for the video. I was given this camera about 10 years ago. You video helped my fully examine the camera. I have not yet checked for light leaks. I'm anxious to shoot some film with this camera. Do you have any images with the camera?
So, how did alternating frames work (vs every 3rd)? Still have overlap?
Where can I get the adapter for 120 film? Thank you.
I have a No. 3A Folding Hawkeye Special. Would you know about how much it's worth?
great video. I just picked one of these up. where did you find the 3D printed attachments at? thank you for your time.
If you do a search you'll find them "3d printed 116 to 120 film roll adapters" or something. There are several out there.... Like www.shapeways.com/product/BDCT9NE2M/120-to-116-film-spool-adapters-set-of-4 - shapeways is a great resource for 3d printed stuff. I saw some on eBay not too long ago too.
i have this same camera, however, my apertures are different from yours. They range at 1, 2, 3, 4. Does this mean my camera is older or newer?
I think maybe you have a Hawk-eye No 2? Mine is a 2A Model B (it says that below the lens.) The No 2 seems to have just numbers like yours. That's a very unusual way of indicating apertures, but maybe Kodak was trying to get away from the whole "multiplying each f-number by 1.4 to get the next one except skip some of them" thing. My guess is that 1/2/3/4 is the same as 8/16/32/64 on my lens. See: www.uscoles.com/fstop.htm for fstop explanations. Here's a link to photos of a No 2 - camerapedia.wikia.com/wiki/Hawk-eye_No._2?file=DSCN1156.JPG
I have this camera, probably not opened in 60 years. Pulling on the knob does nothing and I'm concerned that the folded paper is too old and stiff. Any way to recondition paper from the back side? Thanks
I'm not sure what you're referring to. Are you talking about the rewind knob? If so, you have to turn it (counter-clockwise) as you pull on it. Also, what paper are you referring to? The outside surface of the camera? I'm not certain that it's paper. In any event, I clean all of my old cameras with leather cleaner and leather conditioner.
Sorry, I have looked at your video and when I open the bed you say to pull on the knob to extend the lens outward down the track but I cannot get the lens to pull out. Took the unit apart for a second and saw that the back of the folded paper was in order but seemed very brittle. Closed it right back up and kept looking but the folded paper (is it paper right) seems to be happy and stuck where it is. I have not ruled out a track problem but I cannot pull on the knob and extend the lens. Thanks very much, Mike

Sorry - I was away for a week. I looked again, and the only thing I can see is a little curved leaf spring that prevents the bed from moving, but just a tiny bit. I guess it's there so it won't extend without someone pulling on it. That being said, there are no buttons or anything that have to be moved or depressed before the bed pulls out. You just grab the little silver-looking ball and pull. There may be corrosion, or some kind of goo preventing yours from coming out.
Michael Herder hey so I just bought one of these and had the same issue the bellows got stuck folded up and I tried to pull it out but it seemed as though something was blocking it
Michael Herder so what I did by accident was I had the camera cover like the gold out part open but not locked in just before it locks in and I pulled it out as I locked in the front door lmk if it worked for you
@@Shklooplaman omg thanks for this!! It worked! :)
I have my dads old hawk-eye no2a model b. Different in that speed is listed as1 2 3 4 and on the back it specifies use film 116, about how old is it
They were made from 1924-1934. The 1,2,3,4 on the bottom is the aperture - 1 being the biggest opening and 4 being the smallest. The shutter speeds are at the top, T, B, 25, and 50. 116 film is wider than 120, which is still available, but people have made adapters by 3d printing pieces of plastic that you can put on both ends of a 120 roll so that it will fit in a 116 camera. You can search the net for them - here's one: www.shapeways.com/product/WQGGJTLT3/120-to-116-film-spool-adapters-set-of-2
Thanks for the information , I really had no idea how old it is. I doubt if I will ever try to use it and probably would be willing to donate it to someone who would be interested , it seems to be in good condition , other that a good clean up nothing should be needed , if you know of anyone all I want is for them to pay for shipping/mailing and it's theirs
Hi! I found one of those in my grand-father's stuff and there is a roll film inside. How could I know if there is any picture that has been taken, and if there is, is there any way to see them?
Thanks for your help :)
My first question is how do you know there's film in it? You didn't open the back hopefully. Perhaps there's a number showing in the red counter window? If so, I'd wind it to the end, and remove the film. I would use a piece of masking tape to keep the roll rolled up - the glue is probably gone (you would roll the paper backing all the way, lick the tab at the end and stick it down) Then you either have to find someone to develop it, or do it yourself - these days there aren't many options. Look online, or perhaps ask around at camera stores - there are still a few. They might be able to direct you to someone local. If you can get the film developed, you can have the negatives scanned for digital pix or printed. Let me know if you need further help
Thanks a lot for your reply!
Unfortunately, I did open it because I wasn't expecting a film to be there at all... But when I did, the film was almost at its end, so I think (but I may very well be wrong) that some pictures might remain within the already rolled paper. What do you think?
(By the way, I'm sorry for my English, I'm not a native speaker)
Chances are good that a lot of it will be ok especially if you weren't opening it in direct sunlight. It's worth a shot.
Thanks a lot! I will try to find someone able to develop them in my area. Fingers crossed!
Hello Bob
Which recipe regarding advancement of the film did work for you? Shoot Exposure 1 - skip 2 and shoot Number 3?
Or shoot #1 then skip 2+3 and shoot #4?
Just picked up a camera today. :-D

Arne from Denmark
Hello Arne - I have to tell you that since I made this video I haven't used the '2a folding hawk-eye model b' so I don't really remember. I moved since then and it took me a while to get everything out and to start shooting again. I haven't gotten back to this one. I assume that I did it in the way that I stated in the video which was 'skip 3' so I shot frames 1, 5, 9, etc. You could probably get it closer by experimentation, but I never took the time to do that.
Hi there.
I have now been told what to do.
Skip to frame 2,5 (two point five) for the first shot.
Then to 5, to 7,5 and so on.
Thanks for your kind reply :-)
Where can you get film for this camera?
120 film can be bought at many photography suppliers - such as B&H photo, or Freestyle Photographic Supplies. As I indicated in the video, you need to find the adapters (I bought mine on Shapeways - www.shapeways.com/product/NJ598EVND/120-to-616-film-spool-adapters-set-of-4?optionId=42408582&li=ostatus ) in order to fit the reel in the camera. I show how it works in the video. You'll have to find someone to develop the film, or do it yourself - which is what I do. I haven't used one of these in a while. I find it easier just to use a camera that uses 120 or 620 film.
Where can i buy this camera?
I got mine on ebay. There are several out there for sale now. Wait for a good one though. Take a close look at the condition.
@@rlevitta I'm gonna buy mine from Etsy.
Mine wont close
I only know what these cameras go for on eBay. I pick ones that are in better shape because it's more likely that I can get them to work. It depends on condition - www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.XNo.+3A+Folding+Hawkeye+Special.TRS2&_nkw=No.+3A+Folding+Hawkeye+Special&_sacat=0
Some good information, however it would be much nicer to watch if there was a flow.. Less dead air, less lever-back-and-forthing, less time waiting for what you're trying to say.
Avoid 620 cameras.
Buy Ensign Agfa or Zeiss.
