This is a Kodak No2 Hawk-Eye Model C from 1913.
It is from my toy box.
It has a shutter release which is very basic and you can even see something like fishing wire that operates it on every other use.
I don't believe it even has a lens. Just a hole at the front though I could be wrong.
There are no controls other than the shutter release and the film wind on mechanism.
There is a view finder on the top but I can't see anything through it.
It takes 120 film.
The reason I am telling you all this is because I took it to East Scotland with me two weeks ago and I shot a roll of film. It managed 8 frames from the film.
I couldn't see what I was taking and I didn't even know what the field of view was. I did, however get some images and I think one of them is even good enough to show you.
This is a link to a picture I took with it in Scotland

i actually don't know. The camera has a shutter lever so you just trip it. I didn't know the shutter speed or even the field of view. The only thing I knew was the speed of the film I had loaded. Fat lot of use that is when you have no control over anything else
Its wonderful
Not bad for a very basic camera that is 103 years old
I learnt my photography on manual film cameras and I think everything I learned then is still valid today and now I use a Nikon D5.
it takes 120 film
Im lucky that my local independent camera shop stocks film and they have this film.
Imhope you can find some as it was great fun to use
My local camera shop is wonderful. It is an independent shop and I always go there otherwise it would close. I don't buy any photography stuff on line. They need the business more than the big companies. I am very lucky to have them here so I support them
Im sure you would love it
My left knee hurts at the moment though
Looking forward to see the one good enough
I have just posted one of the pictures I took with this camera
I'm so happy it worked
