Kodak Junior Model A Camera

[todd_a]

Has anyone tried to shoot any photos using one of thes ancient cameras? My girlfriend came across one of these at Canton a few years ago and I was playing with it the other day and everything appears to be in working order. From some searching I see that it apparently uses a 120 film that is still available today.

Any input on actually using one of these - tips, tricks, knowledge about them, post up. I would like to shoot some photos with it and make a little display with it and the photos taken from it together.

Thanks

Ancient? Ancient? Man, that's cold.

These were available when I was a kid. I have a similar model in storage somewhere.

From the photo you posted I would say the bellows looks in rough condition and may have light leaks. You'll need to check that out before relying on it for any decent quality.

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend there. lol This one was supposedly a 1917 - 1925 model.

So, if the bellows are leaky, can you get a new one somewhere?

Quick way to check bellows.

Open the back of the camera, get in a dark room or a closet.

Shine a flashlight in from the back. I use a mini mag, unscrew the front, leaving a bare bulb.

Look all around the bellows for light leaks.
