Whilst sorting through some stuff we found this intriguing little case. You may be able to see it says Kodak on the button.
It's a Brownie Vecta from the mid-60s. I never had one like this, but I did have some simple cameras with fixed shutter speed, focus and aperture. This doesn't even have a way to add flash. Mine used disposable flash bulbs that you just used once.
Inside it's very simple. You just loaded a roll of film. I assume it showed how many you had used through the hole at the back. I wonder if it had to be loaded i the dark and then you rolled the film back into the canister as you used it. There are no batteries or anything electronic about it.
Photography is mostly digital these days and I just used my phone to take these. It's just so convenient. We used to have to wait until we finished a film and then get it developed before we could see what we had. I'm sure someone had a lot of fun with this capturing memories.
Happy snapping!
