Bought another #BoxCamera. It was only $9.99, I couldn't help it.
It's basically a #KodakBrownie clone, made by Agfa.
Unlike the Brownie, there's no aperture setting at all. But like the Brownie, it does have a manual exposure mode (which a lot of simple cameras lack, but you really need that for lower-light shots). The main plus is it has way bigger viewfinders.
The little red-glass lens for the exposure-number viewing port is missing. I can probably just cover the hole with electrical tape and pull it back when advancing the film (which a lot of folks recommend even when you *do* have the lens).
The inner film holder thing seems to wiggle a bit more than other box cameras, not sure if that'll be an issue or not.
Found this at the Community Thrift Center, on Valencia St. in SF, btw; a great thrift store (lots of vinyl).
