Description:
The No.2 Brownie is significant in that it
was the first camera to use 120 roll film. It started production being made of leatherette covered card and, from
1924, changed to a metal box. This is very simple camera
with a very dependable shutter. It has two sliding mechanisms on the top, one for a bulb, or time setting, and the
other for a choice of 3 apertures. It also has two small
reflecting finders for vertical or horizontal shots.
Fun Facts:
The No.2 Brownie was a fantastic addition to the Brownie
line, they just don't seem to stop working. It's still very
easy to find film and though it is a very simple camera,
the ability to choose an aperture is a big plus. These come
in quite a few variations but never changed the primary
look or function of this successful camera.
