Kodak Bullet Camera 1936-1942
"Common, inexpensive, yet novel"
-McKeown's
This old bird has a fixed focus lens in a screw-out
mount. The button on the right side of the mount is pulled out for "B"
exposures. The film advance ratchets like a Baby Brownie. It uses 127
film.
The
camera had a roll of film in it. It was blank.
I loaded the camera with a roll of Efke 100 and shot a few frames
before the film got really hard to advance. I thought about
abandoning the rest of the roll but instead I forced the film advance
knob with my massive strength.
A few frames into the forcing, the film began to move easily again. I
thought all was fine until I went into the darkoom and found that the
film had torn.
I couldn't get the film onto a reel, so I processed it in trays. The
results are uh, interesting.
Not only had I torn the film, but I stretched it before it broke. Cool,
huh ?
