Finally get the Brownie Flash Six-20 off the shelf.

Cleaned this one up and coaxed the shutter back to life over two years ago. Last month respooled some Acros 100 and shot the roll. Here's a sample.

Very nice, Dan, thanks for sharing. I really like the first one since I'm a sucker for tumble down buildings and this one works so well in the authentic vintage look.
The third made me smile. The Brownie isn't the only problem in getting great wildlife shots. Those of us with cameras less than 6 months old have a lot of those "almost" shots too. We all relate!

Beautiful tones and textures in #1, somber yet lovely. I like the perspective of #2 and it makes me wonder about potential photo ops of a tractor by itself in a wide, long field, just plowed or just ready to plow. #3 is a hoot - I have been there far too many times!
Yours and Erich's enthusiasm for old film cameras makes me almost want to go back

I will have to check and see if I have a Brownie 2 -20 in my collection of vintage cameras.

Very nice. I'm surprised at the resurgence film seems to be making in the past year or so. Stores are starting to stock film again. It is really encouraging. I really like the photo of the tractor. Nice detail and nice tonality in the photo. Well done.

Thank you for the look and comments everyone. Of all my Brownies, this one has the least of that "Brownie softness" and the least amount of focus drop off toward the corners.
There are lots of abandoned homes and barns hereabouts, good subjects.
Mule deer, at least the ones around here are almost tame if not startled. That tiny white dot disappearing into the willows is her fawn. I don't have the gear or patience for wildlife shots.

I bought a Brownie years ago and then purchased some film to run through it. Have yet to marry them up! Nice.

A lot of work....and worth it! Great series. Who says digital is better?

...and a little extra work maybe cambriaman, what with developing and scanning and all, but it's a hobby.
Thanks for the comments folks.
