my father's father's father's camera. the kodak autographic junior 1a was produced by the eastman kodak company between 1914 and 1927. i suspect this one is on the older end -- newer models appear to have the "autographic" brand on the faceplate, and the rangefinder set off to one side, as far as i can tell. (somebody please correct me if i'm wrong)

when i picked this up from my parents, it had a roll of kodak verichrome 116 film in it, which had evidently been sitting in it since 1940-something. the film had been exposed but the images on it were obviously unrecoverable.

i'm going to try to fashion some kind of shim to adapt the camera for 120 film, and see if i can get some pictures out of it. the shutter seems to work just fine.

photo details: shot on my coffee table with a single alienbees monolight + softbox. gold reflector is visible in the lens. cropped, adjusted curves a bunch (in both rgb and lab color), and that's about it.

This would be stunning in B&W

Hmmm ... think I like the crop on the "Old" one better, though the actual color on the camera is nice here.
