Classic Box Cameras

by marcus on July 24th, 2004

I recently picked up two classic box cameras on eBay, an Agfa Cadet and a Kodak Brownie Six-20. Both cameras were inexpensive, around $10 each, shipping was the same price as the cameras. The cameras are from the 1930’s and still work using the standard 120 film, producing 6×9 negatives. Unfortunately the Kodak uses 620 film which is only a different size spool but the same film.

Using these basic cameras is a nice change of pace compared to all the features of today’s modern cameras. They have one aperture setting and one exposure setting. The quality of the photos have a nice soft classic feel to them. A different and unique aesthetic than the razor sharp expensive lenses.
