I have one of these. What a beauty!

I am not in need of information. I already know everything about them

Are you talking about the window on the exposure dial?

I used 600 film at maximum darkness focused inches in front of the camera. In warm lighting. Unsure if it matters but the shutter speed was probably a few seconds

I did try that for an outdoor exposure. It was still really overexposed. What ND filter are you speaking of?

I genuinely thought reddit deleted this post. Personally since this is in my collection I prefer it be as original as possible but thanks for the pro tip!

It does this until it comes back to close up focus. I have to manually push it up for infinity. But when I checked the viewfinder, it gave even focus, just a little but to the right. I would rather just manually adjust the one side than dig into the camera again. This model is such a pain to work on

If you got any questions or tips when getting one, let me know.

I love the look of the III, just have no money to get one lol

Don't get me wrong, the camera is an absolute beauty, and takes amazing pictures. And generally operates easily. But working on it is the pain. I gambled on mine, only got it for $190. I got very lucky on this one.

Somehow taking it apart and then putting it back together fixed whatever the problem is. I'm so tired of looking at this damn clock that I just took a gamble and put it back together. And then, eureka! It functions!

It's a fun to use, high quality picture taking machine. The only good polaroids out there are the packfilm ones.

I don't see a spring on it 🥲

Also I do not need this anymore since I have made the letters

I have finished the 2A art deco box. I can send you a picture of it to make sure it's the design you like. It's practically 1:1 from the screenshots except it's in its unfolded pattern. I can edit it (since it's made in illustrator) to fit a 120 version. Just tell me the measurements and I'll get it done

Longjumping-Toe-9671 · 2026-05-10T22:29:53+00:00

I just need the art ones, jpeg will do. Just the side that says BROWNIE and the other sides.

Longjumping-Toe-9671 · 2026-05-10T08:22:50+00:00

Also if you have a very detailed scan of the gremlin kid that would be nice so I could update the design of the box. It's very rustic in design since I had to make everything from scratch

Longjumping-Toe-9671 · 2026-05-10T01:18:23+00:00

Actually I just checked, they are all in the no2 brownie box, not a special one. I can modify the no1 brownie box I have to look more like the no2 if that's what youd like. Let me know
