Brownie Starflash

[catherine_casalino]

I have a Brownie Starflash and was wondering where I can purhase film and replacement

flash bulbs for this camera, since I had no luck at a local photo shop. The manual asks for

Kodacolor C 127 film (12 exp) and for M-2, M-5, M-25, M-5B or M-25B lamps. Thank

you!

Try "Film for Classics." They're on the web. They've got the 127 film cartridges, but I'm not sure if they have the flashbulbs.

<p>You can get 127 film at <a href="http://www.jandcphoto.com">J&C Photo</a> or <a href="http://www.frugalphotographer.com">Frugal Photographer</a>. Both are fine reputable companies.</p>

 

<p>You have a narrow choice of films. Macophot UP100, B&W monochrome. Macochrome UPR 100 E-6 slide film. There is also Efke R100, also B&W monochrome, which is probably the same source as the Macophot. No color print film, although Frugal Photographer is now selling 46mm wide Portra 160NC to reload on old backing paper.</p>

 

<p>As for flashbulbs, there's always eBay. Plently of places on the web, like <a href="http://www.flashbulbs.com">www.flashbulbs.com</a>. Flashbulbs aren't cost-effective anymore, but they pack a wallop of light.</p>

Believe it or not, big B&H Photo in NY sells 127 and other outmoded film sizes.

Catherine,

 

Sorry I'm late to this party but I wanted to give an endorsement for both B & H and the Frugal Photographer. I've also used Film for Classics but they're a bit pricey.

 

Good Luck,

John
