Kodak Brownie Flash Six-20

[@thecurioussquirrelreviews]

I’ve been following you for a while- you are awesome at explaining how these little cameras work! Please keep making tutorials, there’s no one like you out there.

There's an adapter available on eBay that allows you to plug in the slightly smaller Press 5 and 25 bulbs. Plus if you get an adapter for that you could even put in an M3 or an AG1 bulb.

What a great little camera..... simple & basic! Thanks for sharing it with us!

[@cindynehlsen6235]

Thanks for this video! I could not figure out how to open it!

I just saw a photo of a chubby kid holding one of these Six-20s. Probably his first camera. Cute, with two interesting side notes: the photo was from the 1940s - and the little kid was Stanley Kubrick. 😯 !

I have one of these but it says 1939 inside!

[@TheStockwell]

@@christinacommons4843 That would've been from the second year of production - and they were only made for a few years. They're not rare collectables, but they are great, iconic pieces of Art Deco design by the renowned Walter Dorwin Teague: camerapedia.fandom.com/wiki/Kodak_Six-20_Brownie_Special

What completes the circuit to trigger the flash?

[@iheartcrayonss]

Are you able to take photos without the flash attachment on this particular camera? Or will the image be too dark?

[@Alexa_Spencer]

I am most certainly able to take without the flash, I typically shoot a low 100 ASA film stock as I normally only use it in bright sunlight. As flashbulbs are scarce, I tend to not shoot this camera in the dark ever.

[@wheelzwheela]

Probably magnesium. It burns incredibly brightly.

What is the size of the lens exsposure?
