larry_haak Posted August 18, 1998 Share Posted August 18, 1998 Hello Liz, <p> First, you're going to have to find some film. The Brownie Hawkeye takes 620 film which is no longer produced. However, you can do one of two things: 1) take some 120 film and roll it onto a 620 spool (in a dark room, of course), or 2) take the 120 film and cut the spool down to fit. Then load the film like any other 120 roll film camera. <p> Second, taking pictures is easy. Look through the viewfinder and click the shutter once. Note everything in the viewfinder will be backwards. The shutter does not have a double exposure protection device, so be careful. <p> Basically, play with the camera with no film it to get the feel of it. It's very straight forward. That's why Kodak sold a bazillion of them. <p> Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
