We live in a digital world, but cameras were analog for a long time before everyone used phones to capture food and fashion.

I’ve been picking up a few old film cameras and sometimes I even use them to take photos.

My recent project involved a Spartus Full-Vue made by a Chicago based company. The camera was produced between 1948 and 1960 and takes 120 film, making it easier to use than older Kodaks which require the now defunct 620 format film.

I had to replace the mirror in the viewfinder and do some cleaning, but overall, this was an easy to use device

Despite using 400 ISO film and having a 1/40 shutter speed, indoor images were very dark, although the overcast daylight photos came out very well, as shown below.
