I’ve been wanting a little Brownie Hawkeye for some time. My Mom had this camera in the 50’s and I actually thought I had her camera on my shelf and when I discovered I didn’t I went to E-bay and found a gem, still in the original box with all the attachments and usable flash bulbs. I can buy the needed 620 film at Blue Moon Camera in North Portland and so I loaded a roll of T-MAX 400 and went on my way. I developed the film at home in Ilford’s Ilfosol-3 for 7.5 minutes.
I took the camera to the Willamette neighborhood of West Linn and photographed the rising river.
I love the last one. Aren’t Brownies great?

Great little camera! Brownies are so simple, yet consistently produce great images! You are so lucky to have Blue Moon too, they’re pretty awesome!

It’s a fun camera, isn’t it? I’ve flipped the lens on mine to get a different look from my other cameras. I’m also lucky that I can load 120 in mine and I just need a 620 take up spool.
