I have had this camera for a long time. This is the camera my grandfather used to use. On some older blogs I have featured photos of him or taken by him -- and I believe they were taken with this camera. A few days ago I was telling a friend about the camera. She suggested I take some photos with it -- it would make a nice project. So I have the bug. I have looked it over and it seems to be in fine working condition. The bellows look great. The lens is clear.
Here is a photo of it showing my Christmas tree in the finder. My obstacle is that this camera uses 116 film. That size film is no longer produced. I have found a lot of information on converting it to use 120 film fairly easily. This caught the attention of my husband since I likes to work on things -- he is working on how to fit a 120 spindle in the camera.
