Found Film


A couple of weeks ago I bought two vintage Kodak Brownie cameras at a boot fair and when I got home I discovered that they both had processed film in them! Curiosity got the better of me so I had them both developed and these photos are the results. Sadly they're all quite damaged and most of the photos didn't come out but the ones that have are pretty magical! From the womans beehive in the photo below I reckon they must have been taken in the 60's or around about that time.






These were the only two that came out on the second film:

Fed 2


I love a good vintage camera, one of my goals in life is to own a Leica M6 one day. But  alas, I don't have a spare £1500. Lukily for me I read online somewhere that the poor mans Leica is a Soviet Fed 2, even Picasso had one of these and if it's good enough for him then it's good enough for me! I found one for £30 on eBay so thought I'd give it a go. It arrived today, I'll let you know how the film I've just put in it turns out. I've never used a camera without a built in light meter before so it could be interesting! If anyone reading this has any tips please let me know.
