single frame: Thank you for visiting

Thank you for visitingKodak Brownie FiestaShanghai GP3 100HC-110 1+632026 A neighbor gave me her Kodak Brownie Fiesta, a simple camera for 127 film. Review forthcoming. Its face is a piece of clear plastic into which the very lens is molded. I’d never seen anything like it before! I’ve shot two rolls in it now. After the first one I discovered that the camera’s in-focus patch was not 10 feet to infinity, as I assumed based on having shot plenty of cameras like this. It’s something like six to 15 feet, if I had to guess. Weird, and not very useful. The shutter lever sticks out only a tiny bit from the body, requiring fingertip action — and requires some strength to fire. You have to go carefully to avoid shake.
