More photo-fun

Occasionally, Reagan and her friends get together and trade stuff that they have cleaned out of their closets, then donate what’s left over. Reagan brought back the little gem pictured above, from the most recent of these little get-togethers, that took place earlier this week. It is a Kodak Hawk-Eye, patented in 1916. Reagan brought it home because she thought it would look cute sitting on one of her shelves.  I didn’t disagree with her. It is pretty small and cute (about 8 inches at is longest edge). But I was curious to see if it still worked.

When I tested it out, the shutter lever worked. When I opened it up, I saw that it uses the same medium format film that Reagan uses in her Holga. So, I decided to load it up and try it out. So far I have only taken one shot. I’m curious to see the results when I finish off the roll.
