Kodak Brownie 127 Camera

This one doesn't stand out all that much. Fact is, I bought it because of its cute case. Then I shot one roll with it out of courtesy, sold the camera and held onto the case. It now serves as my jewelery case. You can call me weird.

This Brownie from around the 1952 (first version out of three) is as simple as it gets: all plastic, one shutter speed, meniscus lens (f/14 64mm) a viewfinder and a winding crank. It uses 127 film and takes 6x4 cm photos. There is nothing spectacular about it. Really. Image quality leaves much to be desired if you consider the vignetting, blurriness and general lens distortion as drawbacks. And still, they sold in millions.

I used a colour UCN 200 Maco film and developed it in b&w chemistry. Only two images were salvageable.
