The Ugly Beauty of a Classic Kodak Camera
I have much love for classic and toy cameras, I own several versions of the Kodak Duaflex. My favorite is the focus free Kodak Duaflex II, but my second is the Duaflex III, with a zone focus Kodar lens and three choices for setting the apeture, f8, f11, and f16. It was produced between 1954-1957. The focus is completely unreliable and vignettes badly, there is so much charm with that. I really enjoy these old Twin Lens Reflex cameras, they require me to respool 120 film onto Kodak propriatary 620 metal spools. This is tricky, but it is definately worth the work.
The pictures below were taken a couple of weeks ago and shot on Efke 50 and push processed in D76 at e.i. 100.
