Just bought my first Brownie yesterday and am about to load my first roll of film.

<p>

But I'm dying to know more about the autographic feature. Using modern standard 120 film Kodak VC or whatever, will I be able to get an impression with the stylus?

<p>

Doesn't that opening and the flap leave you open to light leaks? I usally use a Holga and my approach is to mummify it with gaffers tape. Same approach here with the autographic window and "light safe" film advance window?

I just bought a Brownie and a Kewpie yesterday. Typed Kewpie camera

into a search engine and got a plethora of options listed here below

are the first few.

I have an Epson Perfection 1600 with transparency adaptor. It works

REALLY well and can accept negatives of various sizes up to 4x5. Cost

with adaptor $300. Totally worth it. I use it to check out my

negatives and decide which prints to make. Saves money in the long

run. Keeping in mind though that what you see on a monitor is never

as awe inspiring as a photographic print, it just looses something.
