[edit]

I've removed :"It was the first mas produced camera to use rolls of photographic film, meaning that the photographer did not have to chage the photographic plate after each photo. In the early years, users of brownies would mail the camera back to the Kodak factory when the film roll was completed, and then Kodak would mail back the developed photographs together with the camera loaded with a fresh roll of film."

There is some confusion between the Kodak N°1 and the Brownie N°1. Since the first, the Brownies use rollfilm and are loaded by the user.

Licensing

[edit]

What's the liscencing for the bert hardy photo? If it's available it should be on this page.

Frank Brown

[edit]

I'm removing the reference to Frank Brown "The camera was named after Frank Brownell, its inventor who was a subcontractor of Eastman Kodak, and then ascribed to Palmer Cox's popular cartoon characters." According to Kodiac's website they are name after Palmer Cox, there's not mention of this Frank Brownell, could someone point me in the direction of a source for it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.246.211.130 (talk) 01:06, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Brownie (camera)Kodak Brownie – Per WP:NATURALDISAMBIG. Consistent with the titles of other cameras (e.g., Kodak DC215, Kodak EasyShare P880) and usage in reliable sources (e.g., NYT). Rublov (talk) 16:11, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Example pictures

[edit]

I feel this article needs one or more example pictures taken by a Brownie. I have some I could upload, but I don't know the exact model or specs of the Brownie used, so it would be preferable if someone added images where the provenance of the camera was known.----Pontificalibus 07:37, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

[edit]

The infobox for this article lists the specifications of the first Brownie model from 1900, but the image is of a model F, and it states the date it was discontinued as when the last camera with the “brownie” name was produced. This seems like it could be confusing to someone unfamiliar with these cameras. For instance, the original brownie used 117 film while other models used 120, 116, or 127. I suggest it would be better to make the infobox about brownie models in general or just the first model. Implacable18 (talk) 03:50, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
