New Toys

I received two antique cameras to add to my collection this Christmas.  One is a Kodak Brownie Starflex (manufactured in the late 50′s thru mid-60′s).  This camera is mostly plastic in construction and took 127 roll film.

The other is the Foth Derby, which also took 127 roll film, and was manufactured in Germany in the early 1930′s.

Also pictured here is another “point-and-shoot” film camera I picked up at Randall’s over the Holidays.  I grew up shooting film, and sometimes I just like to have a paper-and-plastic film camera in my pocket for fun.  When you go this low-tech, it all comes back down to the basics of what you can do with a camera.  Interestingly, I looked up what other people were doing with a Fujifilm Quicksnap and found out Ken Rockwell (you Nikon users love him, I know) had the same idea!
