There's a bunch of other cheap compact cameras for sale, even a $20 Kodak video camera thing. Might be worth a look.

Ulysses, I think you would be a good photographer with a Kodak Brownie. You have a good eye.

Just checked eBay. The cheapest used one in USA is $420. Holding its own.

thanks for the kind words!

I normally shoot the Leica minlux as my point and shoot but was getting bummed about the hole in my wallet, so settled on this amazing lil camera as a cheap way to make images daily. I'm not on the same boat with David A H and his phone for a camera. Unlike him I'd rather not be connected to a phone when making my images, it's nice to be alone and photograph in peace versus having the internet or people as a distraction. I'd rather have a decent small compact than a phone any day.

what makes the brownie extra special ? i always see them around in used camera shops.

Anybody still own or use this brassy rig? Has it brassed?

 

[squirrel$$$bandit]

I had a black one that was brassed, and it looked really good! I sold it and have been regretting that, lately, especially now that they've actually increased in market value.
