I know this may be slightly off topic on a kodak brownie site, but it seems like a good resource for info on box cameras.
I have an Ansco 6X9 box camera w/ one f-stop and one shutter speed.
I am trying to find out A "ballpark" range of f-stop & shutter speed (or exact if someone actually knows it) to begin shooting with.
There is no other ID markings other than "ansco" on the body.
It is cardboard, with two ground-glass "windows" (vertical and landscape) to frame with.
If anybody knows, I'd really appreciate it if you dropped me a line. I'm anxious to start shooting, but I hate wasting film doing test roll after test roll.
