From Mike, maddog10, who promised to send a Brownie Hawkeye to me.
This box was much larger and heavier than just one little box camera, here's
what was inside:



Thanks much, Mike! There's hope for the Hawkeyes and the Agfa Shur Shot,
but I have my doubts about the Brownie Special, 616 film is pretty tough to
come by! Wink It'll make for display when I get it cleaned.

Fantastic Michael! I love the flash - got any bulbs Bill?

Attila, yes, I know the Shur Shot and the Hawkeyes take pictures. I'm
picking up a roll of color film tomorrow that I shot through the 6x9 Agfa
Synchro Box, will see.

Peter, I need to do some research as to what bulbs that flash uses! Shocked

Chris, yeah, that was the handiest flat surface I could find. I'm really bad
about heaping stuff on tables and not putting anything away.

I would never get around to even trying them out, figured Bill was the man for the job! Very Happy

Thought you might like the Agfa Cool

Mike, I'll be picking up a roll from the Agfa Box Synchro tomorrow which should give me an indication what to expect. The Hawkeyes probably have
a better more contrasty lens in them, so can't wait to run a roll thru one of them, after cleaning.

Thanks again for sending! Smile

I got an email from Frugal Photographer saying they have flashbulbs.

Thought you'd like to know.

check this out.

Thanks again,

Bill
