Valiant

The Valiant 620 film camera. I think Pete Lutz sent me this camera from Texas. The shutter button didn’t seem to allow the shutter itself to release correctly. Well, I don’t really know why it took me so long to use it. It ain’t like it’s rocket science to figure out how to synchronize it all. Done.

I decided to try a roll of Kodak Verichrome 620 film that had expired in February, 1947. Umm… well… I got some images. That’s the plus! The images… they’re kinda like alt photo stuff.

(Here’s a video I made regarding re-spooling 120 film onto a 620 spool. Simple simple.)

Vintage wax paper is wrapped around the film roll.

 

So … what the heck? After exposing and advancing the film, I opened the back to find this rolled up piece of brown paper. Hmm…

I like to think I don’t have a “type”. I like colorful, little plastic cameras that make snapping noises. I like tin and Bakelite 127s.
