image frame is actually more like 6x10mm
Larger than a point and shoot digital sensor! With a better lens too!

I have an old camera.
Don't know much about it.
It says Eastman Kodak and something something No.120 on the back.

Yep it does.
I've thought of cleaning it up every now and then, but then I remember the difficulty I have taking digital pictures!

Here are two from the Brownie 2F at Leguna Seca MotoGP2007, and one at a Fourth of July fireworks display. Again these are quick scanned negatives real photo prints from the enlarger in the darkroom have greater tonal range, along with better highlight and shadow detail.
If you are wondering what speed film to shoot in these old cameras, remember they had really slow film available in the 1920's (25-32 speed). So I usually use 100 speed film. (Ilford FP4 and Fuji Acros 100). Developed in a small, stainless steel tank with Pyro PMK (Photographer's Fomulary).
These cameras take really sharp pictures if you use a tripod. They are very light weight, and the shutter mechanism causes a lot of camera shake. I didn't use a tripod at Leguna Seca, so I only got 4 clear shots out of 32 (4 rolls of film x 8 shots each.) but the long exposure on tripod fireworks shots are brilliant when enlarged!

Here's a scan of the front and back of my cameras.
So if you find one at a garage sale, thrift store, antique store, for under $30 and in good condition, buy it!
It is still a useful tool.
