I created this website to tell stories that I like and find interesting, especially stories about photography with film cameras as an amateur. That is, telling stories about the use of several types of film cameras as far as I know and use, various camera settings that will allow you to take pictures as you want, and others in a non-academic way because I don't know much about the technical side. I focus on practicality, using cameras, and taking pictures to get superior results. I hope that those who visit will benefit from this. If you have any suggestions or criticisms, please let me know immediately. It would be greatly appreciated. Send a message to nuttakit@nuttakit.com
Thank you.

In the 1920s Contessa-Nettel merged with the Zeiss Ikon group. The Cocarette series continued to be produced, as did the many other collapsible cameras that existed. These were medium-quality roll film cameras, bearing the Zeiss mark. From 1926 until 1929, the Cocarette cameras were given the model number '519', with variations such as 519/14, 519/2, 519/15, with the numbers after them indicating the various film sizes used.
Focusing is done using a button located next to the lens on the folding platform. Push it to move the lens unit forward or back. On advanced models, the lens can be moved vertically up and down. All cameras have a Brilliant Viewfinder that rotates horizontally and vertically. Some models have a built-in spirit level and some even have a wireframe viewfinder.
The Zeiss Ikon camera you see here is the 519/15 model. It uses 116 roll film, which is larger and was produced before the 120 roll film we use today. However, because the film was large, the camera had to be large as well, making it inconvenient to carry and use. Its popularity declined. Later, the production of 116 roll film was discontinued, and cameras that used 116 film had to be discontinued by default. ...

Kodak Brownie No.2 Model F Sample Photo Digital Scan Negative Contact
After Kodak had success with the Kodak Brownie No.1 camera, which came with film loaded with 100 pictures, with the campaign "You Press the Button, We Do the Rest" - meaning the photographer just had to press the shutter button and send it to the company to develop and print the pictures, and send it back with the camera loaded with new film - Kodak released a new model of camera that was just as easy to use, with some additional functions - and the user could change the film and develop it themselves. This was the second model.
This Kodak Brownie No.2 box camera was first used around 1901-1935. There were 6 models in total: Model A - Model E. It was the first camera to use 120 roll film. The camera shown here is the Model F ...
