Such wonderful pictures!
ReplyDeleteI agree! I'm glad you think so too.
DeleteGreat pictures all round, particularly from some long expired stock. Well done everyone! Great to see Australia represented, so I must get organised for January 27.
ReplyDeleteI agree! I hope you do participate on January 27. This is a good time to make sure that your camera's ready and that you have film :-)
DeleteThese are some great and quite inspiring pictures for this particular event! Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks to all who participated!
DeleteDear Friends of 127:
ReplyDeleteI have a KODAK BROWNIE REFLEX, SYNCHRO MODEL made in U.S.A., which has been in the family for about 60 years.
Without attention from something like 45 years old, it is being analyzed for its new start-up.
Both mode I and B, shoot correctly. The flash operates normally and the general condition is really good.
The inside of the lens as well as the viewfinder, are quite dirty, so I would like to try cleaning.
Despite having searched intensively on the web, I could not find a Service Manual to guide me in the task of disarming and arming, so I fear making some insurmountable mistake.
I would very much thank this community for any contribution in that regard.
I send a warm greeting.

Estimados amigos del 127:
Poseo una KODAK BROWNIE REFLEX, SYNCHRO MODEL hecha en U.S.A., que está en la familia desde hace unos 60 años.
Sin atención desde algo así como 45 años, está siendo analizada para su nueva puesta en marcha.
Tanto el modo I como el B, disparan correctamente. El flash acciona con normalidad y el estado general es realmente bueno.
El interior de la lente así como el del visor, están bastante sucios, por lo que me gustaría intentar una limpieza.
A pesar de haber buscado intensamente en la web, no logré encontrar un Manual de Servicio que me guie en la tarea de desarmar y armar, por lo cual temo cometer algún error insalvable.
Mucho agradeceré a esta comunidad cualquier aporte en ese sentido.
Les envío un afectuoso saludo.
My best advice would be that if you take the camera apart to clean the insides and the lens, be sure to mark which side of the lens faces out and which side faces in. This is critical that you get it put back together in the correct direction. Other than that, Kodaks are usually fairly easy to take apart and clean.
DeleteThank you.
DeleteI have fear to disassemble the objective because the shutter is there.
There are a lot of little parts to make mistakes.
I'll like to put every part in it´s site again.

This is how the viewfinder looks from the photographer's point of view:

And this is how the viewer looks from the front:
