Hi
A few days ago, I bought an Agfa Brownie Flash for 1 at a vide greniers (flea market).
I couldn’t resist and just had to provide exposure for a roll of 120 film with it.
Even though it normally requires 127 film.
Now for my question.
How do you think I should develop the Foma 200?
As far as I know, the camera has a fixed aperture of approx. f/8 and a rolling shutter at approx. 1/40 sec.
The photos were taken in glorious sunshine.
When the camera was made, most films had a maximum of 64 ASA.
Is it a good idea to push the film during development, or would you develop it normally?
Regards,
Marcus

Hi Marcus,
?
You should have used a 100.
Did you apply the yellow filter?
If not, develop it for a shorter time (pull).

Hi Mirko
?
Thanks a lot for your reply
So I suppose I was right in thinking that this old camera would cause overexposure of modern film.
So I’ll be developing it myself.
I’m really looking forward to seeing the photos.
I probably won’t have produced any works of art here, but it was fun.
I don’t use 100 ISO film at all and didn’t have any in the house either.
And the AGFA doesn’t have a yellow filter either.
But if I like the results, I’ll buy some.
And feed the Brownie with it every now and then.

Hi
I’ve now developed the film in Fomadon 1/100 for 17 minutes and 30 seconds at 64 ASA and 24°C
And at first glance, all 12 frames seem to be usable.
Perhaps developed slightly too long.
But that will become clear when printing.
And I have a slight light leak at the edge of the negative. That’s probably down to the original 127 metal reel.
But I have to use that for transport; I haven’t modified a 120 reel for that yet.
Initial conclusion:
Even ancient film is fun.
