Thanks for the video. Just got one from a family member. Can't wait to try it out! I'm a documentary film maker can't wait to find an excuse to use this on a project.
Thank you. I have grown up with the Brownie. Just recently unrarthed it from storage. It still opens and not rusted over. I will try to find film and give it a go.

Amazing video. What happens if you want to shoot for more than 30 seconds in a row? Can you wind it while it's recording or do you have to stop shooting to wind? Also, can the finished reel be put directly on a projector to view it does it have to get developed? Thx
Film in the camera is extremely light sensitive and should be handled in dim light. All film, must be chemically developed before you can scan or use in projection.
I recently bought a turret movie camera at a flea market and got some of your 40 ISO Color Negative film. This is my first time ever experimenting with film but the camera was so cheap I couldn’t resist and I love the look of vintage film. I got that same light meter app you used in this video but just to be sure so I don’t ruin the shot when you take the light reading for example would you set your f-stop to where the 30 is on the brown wheel?
I just got this camera, i was confused with the winding system. Do I have to wind it every time I shoot or just in between slide 1 and slide 2 of film? Thank you
I just bought a Brownie turret to capture our little puppy running around! Sadly, the normal lens is missing so I only have the telephoto and wide angle. Caveat emptor on eBay! I should have been more attentive!
I found one yesterday and I'm thinking of buying it. It is missing what I thought was the lens. It looks like the one shown but is missing the attachment on the front, I clearly see the aperture holes change as I move the dial. But is that attachment a lens hood? Will it work without it?
I wonder if people got to much light in these old cameras when they changed the film from family trips to Wildwood watching the tram car and other scenery. Do you do boardwalk pictures for fun like Atlantic City and other beaches? I always enjoy seeing all of the beautiful seagulls. Once they got agressuive and went after me in Ocean City NJ for my funnel cake though.
Great video! I just picked up a Brownie double 8mm a few days ago from a family friend, I think it has film in it from many many years ago but I’m afraid to check as to not expose it. Any tips? I’d love to get it developed but I’m not sure how the best way to do it is.
Hi Chris, The film is (most likely) old Kodachrome which can no longer be developed as color film. Developing as BW is expensive with no guaranteed results. I recommend you use the film to test your camera and pick up a fresh roll of film from The FPP. Feel free to send me an email if you have any other questions. - Mike / MIchael@FilmPhotographyProject.com
Hey, I’m following up on my comment! I am just now getting a chance to sit down and take a look at this camera. Is there any way to manually wind the film through? I want to open it without exposing the film inside, is there and way to do so without having to just run the camera until the film is completely on the spool? Or should I just switch it on and listen for the sound?
Finally the brownie! But I never figured out how to focus since I have the regular model…would you please teach me? also to wind it up, I saw you did 18 times but if I keep on doing that, will it stop?
The Kodak Brownie 1.9 camera is focus free. Nearest subject should be about 5 feet away. Regrading winding - when you feel it getting tight, you can stop. Happy shooting!
I just got one of these with the 3 lens turret but the standard soze is missing the glass lens piece. Would I still be able to use it? And if not, where can I find a replacement glass lens?
@@FilmPhotographyProject oh my god. It was right in front of my face this whole time and didn't even realise. Whatever, now I can finally get started with my (potential) new Hobby. Thanks alot!
I recently bought one listed under "mint condition" on ebay and it came in. It didn't work. It is really hard to find a working one, or maybe I just suck at finding them lol. Anyone know any sellers?
@@FilmPhotographyProject hi i bought this very film from u about a year ago and have it here and want to shoot it but cant remember if developing and scanning is included. Help!
I just saw that yes its a bundle and including but not sure i have the film form may have misplaced it. Where can i get a form so when i mail the film back.
what a true piece of true engineering. these things were designed to work.
Love the subtle carnival music in the background -- so fitting for FPP..... :-)

I feel like this song is becoming your theme song! Love it!
Second. Have this camera! Can’t wait to use it! Thank you FPP!
Just picked up one of these, hoping to use some BW for railways. Thank you so much for this video and your films, i'd be quite lost otherwise!
What did you pay for yours?
Found a Scope Sign Brownie at a flee market today for $15 and I'm so excited to get started!!
It is a beautiful camera. I would like to know where I can get rolls of film of that type.

Excellent post.
I was recently given one of these, how do you get the film developed afterwards to see the video?
I went to the site, but I don’t know which ones to get.
40 iso color

or 40 iso BW

Kodak! Rochester NY!
Is the light meter app you use self explanatory? Looking at it on the App Store and I already feel like I’m not gonna know what the heck I’m doing lol
This might help - ua-cam.com/video/5wwJJSsHu8w/v-deo.html
I actually picked up a brownie turret 2-3 years ago and forgot I had it until today

40 iso film - shoot at the smallest aperture (f16 or 22) in broad daylight. If you're using a light meter app, you're already ahead of the rest!
@@FilmPhotographyProject Thank you! Hoping to get some footage soon and send it in to get developed!
Nice informative video but that music makes me feel like you are filming from an insane asylum.
He is
Or at the Circus 😂
Can you wind back over film thats been shot and record again for a double exposure moving picture?
This video is great! How much footage does a 25ft roll get? How long of a video? Thanks!!
Final file = 4 min.
Wheres the best place to buy film for one of these?
I just got this camera, i was confused with the winding system. Do I have to wind it every time I shoot or just in between slide 1 and slide 2 of film? Thank you
Each wind will give you approx 30 seconds of shoot time.

There are so many of this model available (on eBay and other thrift sites), I would wait and purchase one that is complete.
Hi! Do you know any places that still sell the film needed for this type of camera && stores who would help develop them?
Your one-stop shop: filmphotographystore.com/collections/movie-film/products/double-8-film-bundle-film-develop-scan-25-ft
Will that film work on a revere 85 projector machine, if not what brand projector machine will i need for it?
For projection, shoot Cine8 40 BW Reversal or Cine8 Color 100D Reversal. Reversal film produces a positive image needed for projection.
Does a 100 feet double 8 mm fit in here, or do you need a 25 feet?
25 feet of Double 8 Film - filmphotographystore.com/collections/movie-film/double-8
I just bought the one that you show at 0:05 for $20 at an antique market. Any idea where I could get some film for it?

Is there any way to tell if the film slipped out of the take-up reel when you start shooting?
Yes, Follow the steps when I load Side 1 - notice that the film take-up is properly working (and taking up the film)
whats the song in the backround?
I have one of these, but I think it might have been overwound. Have you ever fixed one?
Do you know how to take this camera apart? I have one and mine isn't working properly.i'm trying to open it up, but alas It's difficult.
We do not have service manuals for any 8mm (or 16mm) cameras.
I just got one of these with the 3 lens turret but the standard soze is missing the glass lens piece. Would I still be able to use it? And if not, where can I find a replacement glass lens?
It would be cheaper to source a replacement camera on ebay since replacement parts are not available. - Mike
was this film pretty expensive back in the day?
Movie film was always expensive. SO much so, that as a kid (in the 80s), I could only afford a few rolls per year.
I have this camera. I'd like to open it and lubricate the mechanism. Does anyone know how to do it?
I am confused. What film does the brownie take? Regular or super? And so to speak, is there even anyone left who makes regular 8mm film?
Kodak Brownie 8 cameras take Double 8 film. The FPP makes it - filmphotographystore.com/collections/movie-film/double-8

Cool chart on the camera likehazy sun, but thanks for warning that it's best to cover it up because of low iso.

Almost the same including loading and operation.
the fucking music
Cool classic here. Btw, first here
I have one. Looks new w original box. Are they worth anything?
