I have one that belonged to my grandfather who worked at Kodak. Missing the strap, but otherwise in good shape. Thanks for the tutorial. I think I opened it for the first time since 1930. How do you actually take a picture, though? Looks like you drop the lever on the right hand side of the camera to expose the film to light, but how do you judge how long to keep it open?
Hi. To judge the exposure time, you could use a light meter or Sunny 16 rule. Your shutter speed in the case of this camera is about 1/30s and the aperture is about f/16
Your video is instructive and really like you did it with your son, family… I’m sure you hooked somebody for all his or her life about vintage cameras. I have the same camera and I’ll drop a film in it this month and take pictures in the beautiful light of month of march here in Quebec City I really like the way you present your videos.
@@carlweingartenmultiphasere9648 Hi. These cameras were designed to take photos at relatively sharp focus. Anything from roughly 5ft to infinity will be sharp. Focal length is about 5 inches.
Your production quality has gone way up, but the volume it too low, I've doubled the output on my amplifier from other UA-cam videos, and it's difficult to hear
Beautiful! I’ve never seen an example of this camera in such good condition- it’s brand spanking new!
Thanks! I have one that was my grandmother's never knew the history 😁

Thank you for the comment
The camera was given to children who were born in 1918.
That is correct
@@krisb8781 I find that camera very interesting so I am always checking out the information on it. I do like your video.
What is the focal range of this camera? How close can you get to a subject before losing focus?

Thanks for for your input. I will look into audio fix in my next video. It seems to work on on my phone, but nevertheless, i will check it out.
