Film handling and focus distance Brownie No.2 Type F

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Brownie Cameras : One Thread

Hello everyone,

Does anyone know how to load and unload film in a Brownie No.2 Type F? I am most interested in how to rewind the film into the 120 cartridge; can this be done in the light? Also does anyone know what distance the lens is focused at?

Thankyou in advance, Kevin.

120 film

Not quite sure I understand your question about "rewinding" the film, once the 120 film is wound through the camera, it stays on the take-up spool for processing. The minimum foocussing distance for most box-Brownies that don't have any close-up capability is about 10ft.
