"Now this camera, this film in this particular camera so I'm not going to open it up but I'm going to, it's very similar to the Holga, to the Action Cam that I've talked about. The back opens up, the one twenty format film goes across the back and there is an view finder back here that you could see how many frames you have and there's an advance on the side- extremely simple camera to use. You could see the tape again back to the tape you know when you're using these Vintage Cameras or toy cameras, you're going to get light leaks. This particular camera was made in 1942. So, it's been through a lot and there's little parts of it that do leak light so again I have to use my black gaffer tape and tape up parts of it. This window also closes which I think is really cool so you could open it and close it. It's just little tiny design things like this I think are just the coolest part about this camera. There's a button on the side that lets me open it up and the lens comes out and you see bellows here. We've talked about bellows about dark room stuff a little bit and these bellows are what help me focus it."
