Kodak Target Brownie Six-16

This is an old box camera I've had since the 1970's and uses 616 film. Since they don't make that size film anymore, I'll have to improvise to come up with a way to use this camera. The first way I tried was to put some 35mm film in it.

The Target Brownie Six-16 box camera was made by Kodak from 1941 through 1946. It uses the discontinued 616 film size. The camera itself measures 5 3/4 inches by 5 1/4 inches by 3 1/2 inches. It features a distinctive Art Deco front plate and is quite attractive. You can adjust it for two different apertures and shutter speeds. I have used 35mm film in mine to be able to say I've used it. When I taped the film inside the camera, in total darkness, it felt like I had it centered in the area where the original 616 film would have been. But, when I aimed it, I either aimed a half frame too high or got the positioning of the film off a little that I couldn't feel with my hands. The shot turned out all right except that I wish I could have gotten about half a frame lower to include more of the houses lining the road I was standing in.
