Remember that nice $10 1940 JEM JR 120 camera I picked up at the flea market? Well I finally got the film processed this week and the pictures are in. Simply amazing that a simple box like that can take some stunning images.

| Camera is resting on the ground for this 10 second exposure. |
It's not that amazing on bright sunny days but long exposures at night came out great. This camera has only 2 shutter settings: 1/30 and Bulb mode where the shutter stays open as long as you want. All this at f/11.

| The sun is facing the camera and reflecting on the ring around the lens, creating that flare. 1/30 exposure with camera held at waist level. |
One thing I've noticed is that if you have direct sunlight or lights aiming at the front of the camera, the glossy black metal ring around the lens will leave a flare on the image. Flat black hockey tape to the rescue to fix that problem.

I'll be buying more film for this camera in the near future. Not bad for a 71 year old camera made in New Jersey.
Thanks for watching.
Gerry :)
