~ The Penguin ~

My much loved Kershaw Eight-20 Penguin ... The finest photographic equipment money can buy ! You can keep your fancy fangled digital stuff, this camera is as solid and ever-reliable as my electric wireless set ...

Shot with a high-end digital perhaps ? Mmmmmm. If I recall correctly, the only real problem with the Penguin was it's very limited aperture options... two only I think, f11 & f16. This model came out post-WW2 in the early 50's and used 120 roll film, but with only f11-16 to choose from, images would thus be surprisingly sharp. Interesting study. Nice angle.

like it...puts me in the mind of "oh the things i have seen~~" frame of mind. hmmm, bit of a play on words, unintentional~~~ *grin*
and the smell of the dark room, developing the film... wondering,hoping that the shot came out just right... i don't know anything about this type of camera, but if it was limited, think how creative the photographer had to be!
