Perfect timing to try my modified Hawkeye flash with the hotshots, tripod mount, neckstrap and cable release more :)

I bought a Brownie (probably for last year's version of this).  The bloody thing just fell to bits while loading it.

Might see if I can get something a bit more robust and give it another go ::)

My No.2 Brownie needs the lens cleaning as last time I used it was like shooting in the mist. Need to look into that.
Could use the Brownie Hawkeye instead, but I think that as I've got a few rolls of Rerapan to hand I should use the Brownie Reflex some time this month.

I'm sure I have or two that I can get out and play with.  Are we going to post the shots on this thread also?

I think the Filmwasters should be represented, and post here too! I have two Brownies so I'll dig them out and see what happens.

That could only mean one thing: you didn't use enough tape  ;D

There was a nice confluence of opportunity and interest yesterday so I rolled some Fomapan 100 onto a 620 reel, stuffed it into my Brownie Hawkeye, and headed out to the wilds of Newton Upper Falls (near Boston, Massachusetts).  Mine's done.  Now for some pinhole work...

This was my contribution.  Kodak Brownie Hawkeye Flash with the lens flipped and using a closeup attachment.  The film was Ilford HP5 Plus developed in Beerenol (Modelo Especial).  This was the first time I used Mexican beer to develop film.

Shot a roll of Rerapan 100 in my Brownie Reflex last Tuesday, first time I've used that camera since 2012.

This one was my contribution, shot on the Bluebell Railway.

I used my ancient No2 Brownie with Ilford DELTA 100. I have another roll to finish shooting and develop
