Very old , pre-war camera. It has 24mm x24mm format.

Well, picture quality is what it is, but it's still interesting to see this old cam back to life Smile
Do you load normal 24x36 film in it? Of course getting more frames.

Yes, it works with normal film, scanning only tricky need select each frame.

Great! A real pocket classic - and 50 shots a roll! Did you fix it up at all? Maybe rigging up a hood of some sort may help?

I bought in fully working order and looks new stage, I was really lucky. A hood should help yes, but we can make more contrasty with photoshop too.

Camera is nice , handy cute little one, I have same feeling when I hold Leica in my hands.

I think you should try a fine grain B&W. The extra resolution and range will show what this can do. I guess a Kodachrome would do too... Smile
