found cameras

[trudee]

Hi All,

my brother-in-law passed away recently, found in his storage cabinet a whole slew of old cameras, hoping someone can give me information......am I able to purchase film? Where?

1st camera: Kodak Brownie camera, Target six-16, No. 2A. Fortunately instructions are still in box with price list of camera, chemicals, Velox paper, etc. in the back! only date I can find is inside front page, Kodak, trade Mark, 1888 and March, 1919. Pamphlet indicates film for 2-A Brownie is 116.?

2nd camera: Argus Seventy-five with Argus Lumar 75mm lens in original case. no box or instructions, excellent condition.

This is so exciting.

Thank you for any help you can give,

Trudee

Here's the info on the Brownie: http://www.brownie-camera.com/46.shtml and here's info on the Argus: http://camerapedia.wikia.com/wiki/Argus_Argoflex_Seventy-Five

The Brownie uses 616 film that I don't think is still available. The Argus uses 620 film.

620 no longer exists either but you can roll 120 film onto a 620 spool (if you have them).

You can order 620 film and spools from http://filmphotographyproject.com

Also a great podcast, 5 years of them! Fun to listen to while developing film.
