Got 11 rolls developed out in Kansas. One, the light leaks were so bad none of the pics came out. The processor gave me $7 in coupons (my cost in developing) to use next time, even though it wasn't their fault. Isn't that sweet?
It was a folding Kodak from the fourties. Passed my light leak test (flashlight in the dark bathroom), so dunno where the problem is.

Flag down on the play, B&H Photo-Video! Was repeatedly assured in-store that buying items & having them shipped would not incur any charges (I bought $200 of stuff!). So when it shipped & I saw a shipping charge, I called right away. Not like them, they're usually more honest.

Psyched to shoot my first roll of large format film on my “new” camera from 1917-ish: a Kodak “No. 2 Folding Autographic Brownie” (sez so, right on the handle). Only 8 pics/ roll, cuz they’re like 4 inches! Shooting Ilford 400 speed B&W. Will find a way to use the timed shutter: release once to open, release again to close.

If you are planning to visit Poland and Krakow the #Photography History Museum (MuFo) is a must.
The MuFo on Juzefitow Street offers a unique behind-the-scenes look at the work of restorers, a peek into the #darkroom or how old #photographs are digitised. They have a huge collection of prints, #negatives and old photographic equipment.

I highly recommend it!

Here is one of the exhibits as a teaser: an old invoice for photographic services from 1869!
