My First Film Images: Eastman Kodak Brownie Target Six 20 Camera
I finally did it…I refurbished this Eastman Kodak Brownie Target Six 20 camera that has been sitting on my shelf since my 40th birthday. Sarah had one heck of a 40th Birthday Party for me which included purchasing old cameras for each of the tables. This is one the cameras she found, so I thought I would start trying to use it.

It was probably manufactured in the 1940’s by Eastman Kodak to encourage people to buy film and take pictures. I was able to purchase 620 film in both 100 ISO and 50 ISO. Here are some of the first images I just had developed and converted to digital by The Dark Room in California.
Here is a video of the shutter mechanism. I had to go inside and clean the lens and the shutter.
Take a look at some of the first images!
