This was the camera given to the 14-year-old Ansel Adams in order to give him something to do and keep him out of trouble. The rest, of course is photographic history. That camera was given to the George Eastman Museum by Adams, along with other items from his collection. 😺
😯WOW! look at your massive camera collection, I looked at one of your earlier videos with about 70 cameras on your shelves all looking tidy now look at it, you need a bigger room 😆. I started collecting cameras at the end of August this year as my stepson and his girlfriend gave me an old Ensign camera as a 60th birthday gift, I told them at the time you just might have created a monster, I now have about 50 cameras, I see them as an investment. I enjoy watching your video's keep up the good work and get a bigger room or house 😆
There is no need to respool 120 film on to a 117 spool, just use a modern new 620 roll of Shanghai GP3 620 film in the supply position, and an empty 117 spool in the wind-on position. The 620 spool is only fractionally different in size to the original 117 spool, whereas a 120 spool is too fat to fit in the supply posn. You need the 117 take-up spool to fit the end of the winding key, to wind on the film. I know because I have done it, it works perfectly allowing real good pics on easily developed 620 film, and avoids the trouble of re-spooling 120.
Great photos with that simple camera and lens indeed ❗❤️

That is an interesting piece of history. Thanks for sharing

That takes better photos than I imagined

Do you have any recommendations for an alternative wind key since mine doesn't include one.
