Glass



When you are shooting photos, it is always nice to have a good piece of Glass. Not essential of course but very helpful.

The glass in this Kodak No. 3-A Folding Brownie Camera from 1902 (before I born) doesn't have great glass by today's standards but it works very well none the less. It has been decades since I used it but it worked well when I did.

You can bypass the glass altogether and use a pinhole camera but I do like some good glass in my cameras. Or, as in this camera, glass and brass.

  3. So dramatic! It's wonderful! And I have made and used a pinhole camera, but somehow the effect, though interesting, isn't quite what it could be...

  6. They certainly don't make cameras like this anymore, I think this is a piece of art. Thank you for sharing!
