Back in The Box (photos from box cameras)

[mconnealy]

Nice to see some new work in this thread from the great old boxes. Here's an early one from my favorite, the Ansco Panda.

Has anyone here encountered the Ernemann Film K box camera? I found one in a job lot and found a review online where the user found his lens was reversed, apparently from new. I've checked mine and Lo! And behold! Mine is the same.

Has anyone else got one? Have you find the same? I am wondering if it is intentional as I have two (very similar) Coronet box cameras that show exactly rhe same effect - see below. I feel some fun coming on with a ground glass to see where the focus point is...

Interesting... the ground glass suggests that infinity focus is pretty good. But that lens is definitely concave side out. There is obviously some physics going on wot I is hignorant of.

Here is my Eastman Kodak Bullseye #2 Model D from the late 1800s. I don't use the wood spools that are for 101 film. Instead I have 3D printed adaptors for 120 film.

This is one of the first shots with the camera. I had a bit of a light leak loading or unloading the roll but I like the way it turned out. Catlabs 320 Pro film.

This is from a later roll. Kodak Gold 200 film. This one has a nice light leak too. (Not all my shots do but I like the look when I get it.

You have more luck with your light leaks than I do! Great to see such an early Kodak still being used.
