Brownie film advance?


Recommended Posts

Hi! Just got my first two brownies and I am getting ready to try them out and a question came to mind....how do I know how far to advance the film after I have taken a picture?

Thanks in advance and any other input on using this camera is welcome.

Trula.........there should be a red "EYE" on the rear of your camera.

the film will have numbers. ( I use kodak Porta 160 ASA) After

loading the film, you will see several things roll by as you advance

the film. The 1st exposure will sneak up on you the first time you do

this, so dont worry if you pass it and end up on #2. I did this my

first time. Then just advance each time to the next number. I keep a

piece of black tape over my "red eye" until i am actually advancing

the film, at which point i remove it to see the numbers. I do this

so that no excess light filters in and makes a cloudy pic. the newer

films are more sensitive (especially color)

good luck
