Default Model Of The Month: Brownie Reflex Camera

I found this model in google sketch up.The designer is Mike Connealy.I transfered the file into Pepakura Design and unfolded it.I made the object to tall so I will have to redo it at a later date.I unfolded the camera and remved thr flaps.The rearanged the parts so they wuold fit the page sizes and be less pages.Then printed it out on cut up poster paper.I made flaps where i thought it was required.001.JPG

Nice, really. I like the details, as the window for the frame number I used to photograph on this (pretty similar) thing i got from my grandfather...

Medium format roll film, 6 cm wide, 12 square frames... Perhaps I will try it again, but the pictures are quite expensive, if you take together the price of the material and the processing...
I cannot resist asking - will this be a pinhole camera (as it very much could be) or only display thing?

I actually own one of these cameras. Mine is a Hassleblad copy, but a fine camera in it's own right. The Negatives are absolutely huge!! I was recently offer a nice sum of money for it. I wonder how long they will keep making film for it. I was told they are still used in many professional settings?!?

You know, I almost missed this and then scrolled back and went "What?"

My grandmother was a photobug and had about every early Kodak camera made, and I remember this one.

Kudos to a detailed build and an unusual subject!

In fact...

I'd say that combination deserved Model Of The Month and front page!
