john_reichenbach Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 I've just purchased my first "folder". Any suggestions from my fellow Kodaphiles on how to get the best results with this camera? Don't be shy Pete, I'm counting on you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_lutz Posted October 23, 2001 Share Posted October 23, 2001 Well, I dunno, John, I'm suffering from "once bitten, twice shy" syndrome, since Maarten B. ripped my head off ;) about the 116 film fiasco in the other Brownie forum... <p> However, I do use a few folders, and have had great success. I own a Vigilant Six-20 with an f/4.5 lens, and this little beauty has produced some beautiful shots in existing light using a relatively slow speed film (Verichrome Pan ISO 125). <p> The Vigilant Six-20 Junior has, I believe, a slower lens and limited shutter speed, am I right? If so, you will want to remember that low light will need a flash or a time exposure. Other than that, the only thing I can suggest is experiment, experiment, experiment. I had a Tourist II with the same "features" as your camera (T/B/I, f/12.5 lens), but I had a major problem with lens flare due to the flat glass front lens protector. <p> I love working with folders if only for their eye-catching appearance and the way they feel in my hands. Have fun, John! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
