How about removing the glasses altogether. If glasses are really necessary, I've heard of some photograhers using spare frames with the lens removed. I've never tryed this myself.

I have started to restore a 1910-1912 No. 1 folding buster brown

camera. The bellows show signs of thin spots that let in light, and

the shutter does not opperate well when you point the camera in an

upwards direction. What is the best treatment for the worn bellows

and the sticky shutter. The front of the crmera has 4 small screws

where it comes apart.

On the plus side the camera takes 120 rolls of film with no

modifications.

I have a Canon Rebel G and have shot around 75 rolls of film. The

camera battery mater now shows that the batteries are near dead.

Does any one know how long the batteries will still last(no flash,

manual focus)? Also has anyone used the battery pack for the

camera, it takes 4 AA size batterys. The man at the camera store

said it would last about 20 rolls. Would recharigble batteries be

worth it. Right now it cost $20 canadian for the 2 CR-123 batteries.

I am wondering how long should I hold the shutter open for, when I am

shooting at the moon. I have a Brownie target six-20, I use respooled

120 film at 400 speed. Any sugestions would be great.

does any one know the price of the konica c35 camera?

I have two Brownie cameras, I was lucky that both took 620 film. I'd Have to disagree with Colm McCarthy saying respooling isn't much fun. its quite easy(and fun) and only takes a few minutes. I have also tryed modifiding new 120 rolls but it was messy and took awile. I sanded the ends with sandpaper to shortin it down then thined it down in the leigh so it would fit. For film I use 400 speed film. As for what to look for in a good camera, as long as the shutter operates and there are no visible holes or cracks in the body the camera should work great.

Good luck.
