The past week and a half I have spent many miles on southern Indiana roads stopping at rummage sales, barn sales and a handful of antique malls. I've gathered a collection of pretty finds ranging from retro Aladdin thermoses, antique typewriters all the way to vintage cameras, many of which are Polaroids. The last day out I came across a small antique shop in a place called Gnaw Bone Indiana and that is where I met this Kodak Reflex 1A camera and it was love at first sight. It's in fantastic condition, and needed very little cleaning inside or out. Already I have found a camera store in downtown Indianapolis that still sells and processes 120 film which I have bought and modified to fit the camera which originally takes 620.
I haven't been this excited about shooting since I received my SX-70 earlier this year. Bringing these vintage cameras to life is really thrilling and I can not wait to share with you the images from this Reflex in the days to come.
I hope you have a lovely weekend and are able to find the little treasures that makes your heart soar!
What an amazing find! As well as your pretty sewing machine! They will be so much fun for you I'm sure of it. :)
