These are some of the lads I play fitba with. I took this shot a while back. (And if I posted it before I apologize for the repeat).
I took it with my first Brownie Hawkeye Flash. It was a test roll. I had taken the camera apart to clean the lens and the viewfinder glass and when I put it back together I accidentally put the lens in backwards.
Of course, I didn't realize the lens was backwards until I developed the pictures. I can't remember what film I used. Probably Tri-X.
(I learned read that a lens goes in convex side out when its in front of the shutter, but goes in concave side out when it's behind the shutter. Don't know if that holds true in every case, but it certainly does with the Kodak Brownie Hawkeye Flash Model.)
The Hawkeye Flash is a wonderful camera by the way. Made of bakelite, its solid, durable and simple. They are often dirt cheap. Its designed to take 620 film, but a 120 spool will fit in the delivery side and you just have to use a 620 spool for film take up.
