Same . It was a bit of a surprise when I first took the developed negatives off the spool . But I must have moved the fil. While respooling . Only got 7 shots instead of 8 .
A buddy of mine just gave me a Six-20 and so I'm looking it up. Images looked great for such a camera and I like the little stretch on the edges. That is one well built camera.
Cool video...thanks. I just picked up a Six-20 Brownie Special at an estate sale...for $7.50. The shutter seems to work and the view finder is pretty clear. I couldn't figure out how to open it so your video was helpful in this regard. It was just a little stuck so I used a pair of nail clippers to pry the camera away from the case. I just need to some clean up and I'll have it out taking pictures. Thanks again for the helpful video.
Hi Dave, that camera is as old as me! Amazing shots, thanks for sharing this with us, a real privelige. No snow here in france just grey and damp. All the best, Mick.
Thank you for your comment . I am very happy that people get to see how good these cameras were when used proper hand held . I'm impressed with the results. A tripod would have sharpened them .
Thanks Dave for sharing your experience with this camera....amazing & interesting to watch loading the camera and the results were great.... cheers from Australia 😀
I have the non flash version of the six-20 Brownie Special and was delighted by my results from a Pan 50 Ilford film last summer. I like the viewfinder as a spectacle wearer because it is easier to see the full frame than on many other vintage cameras. It is like sitting in the back row of the cinema but the whole screen is there and no need to try to see round the edges of the frame or remove the specs and see a blurred image. Thanks. I've subscribed. Lots to catch up on!
Great shots -- the 400 ISO looks like it was perfect for that camera and the conditions -- and the center sharpness was really good! I have shot my share of the consumer 620 cameras from Kodak and in many cases the lenses have let me down! Often noticeable haze and dust issues inside the lens. How did you clean the lens on this one? Thanks!!!
@@daveruskphotography -- thanks, but I was more wondering how you got 'into' the lens to clean it -- that's often my struggle, cleaning the inner surfaces even of these simple singlets/doublets/triplet lenses....
@aengusmacnaughton1375 I usually don't give that kind of advice . Because if someone. Essentially up their camera they come back at me . But if you Google or search UA-cam. I'm sure you will find what you are looking for .
The develop my film myself . Then I digitize them with a Nikon D810 and a Nikon AF-S 105 2.8 Micro VR ED G lens. After that I load the RAW images from the D810 into lightroom on my computer where I turn the negatives into black and white positive images . From there I do some processing to turn them from flat RAW into my style of black and white . Once finished processing the images I turn them from RAW files to jpeg files then I can share them on social media.
Well, I didn't expect such good photos from this old camera at all, beautiful 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you so much Dave for this video, I enjoyed it

Yes it did quite well . Thanks
Very informative video, thanks. This camera came out two years before I was born. I'll have to add it to my collection.
Thank you . You are welcome.
@@daveruskphotography I did get this camera and it came with a full roll of old exposed film. It will be fun to see if any original pictures survived.

Thank you . I enjoy taking it out every now and then . It's an important part of photography history .

I'm pretty sure I used high concentration ammonia and hydrogen peroxide

Hey dave! how did you turn the film into pictures
The develop my film myself . Then I digitize them with a Nikon D810 and a Nikon AF-S 105 2.8 Micro VR ED G lens. After that I load the RAW images from the D810 into lightroom on my computer where I turn the negatives into black and white positive images .

I have this old camera, and have pictures of me at 2yrs old. Two years after the camera came out for sale.......
That is awesome!! Thanks for sharing.
how are u? i found this camera in my grandma stuff and i wanted to know how many expositions have
If it takes 120 film 8 exposures
it means like 8 pictures?
i don't understand how it works, the film was already inside
if i take off the inside part of the camera before the film is complete i ruin the pictures?
If you open the camera without the full roll completely wound onto the exposed reel . Whatever photos that were taken will be ruined .
