Brownie Hawkeye in Flagstaff, AZ

We took a short trip to a small college town in the mountains this weekend. Got ourselves out of the heat and I got a couple of hours to walk around.
These are from a Brownie Hawkeye Flash camera. FP4, Barry's.

Good stuff. I really like the first one! Shooting with the Hawkeye is so fun and simple. 😀

It's good to see great BHF shots without flipped lens for a change. It shows what this camera in good hands is really capable of.

I agree 100%. The "flipped" lens look bugs me.

Nice shots, for a $10 50-year-old camera.

I have a couple of these cameras but they take 620 film. Did you get 120 spools to fit, or did you re-spool 120 film onto old 620 spools? The pics looks nice!

My Brownie Hawkeye Flash takes a full size 120 roll, but needs a 620 spool for take-up.

Interesting. I have some empty 620 spools, will have to dig my Hawkeyes out and try them

Not having any 620 spools, I file the 120 spools down till they work for take up. Just a few minutes does it.

My Hawkeye is apparently an older model. I can use 120 film without respooling. Take up is 620. This is Neopan 400.
