My Old Film Cameras Pt. 4 - Spartus Full-Vue

Yet another camera from the same friend's grandmother.

Spartus produced the Full-Vue in the U.S. between 1948 and 1960. Unlike the bulk of my vintage medium format finds, it's actually designed to take 120.

This one has had the shit kicked out of it, but from what I can tell, no light leaks.


Basic Specs

Aperture: f16
Shutter Speed: T,1/60
Focal Length: 97mm

My Old Film Cameras Pt. 3 - Kodak Vigilant Six-20

This is the camera that got me excited about shooting film again. It came from the same house clearing that produced one of my Brownie Hawkeye's.

The Vigilant Six-20 is a compact folding medium format camera produced by Kodak between 1939 and 1949. It's meant to take 620 film, but I've managed to get 120 to work in it. The image format is 6x9(cm) rather than the usual 6x6.

The bellows are in terrible condition, so I've been painting on layers of black acrylic to kill the light leaks. I wouldn't recommend doing this if you ever want to close the camera again.


Basic Specs

Aperture: f6.3-f22
Shutter Speed: T,B,1/25-1/100
Focal Length: 105mm
