Ansco Flash Clipper

I bought it at an antique store for 10 euros. Viewfinder and hotshoe are missing, so I cut a small plastic shampoo bottle found in hotel rooms to use it as a viewfinder.

The camera used 616 film which is discontinued. I modified it for 120 which is shorter. I cut some wall plugs to lengthen the 120 spool


and taped two carton strips to mask the opening to film dimensions.

Film numbers appearing in the window are for 6X9 frames (8 shot).

The camera is fixed focus with one aperture and one shutter speed (likely 1/50, f8 or 11)
Unfortunately the strips had to be taped level with the camera's opening, so the film stands flat.
I managed to get 5 widely spaced wavy unfocused photos as I thought the film numbers were for 4,5X6 frames (16shots)
I had the film developed and then I photographed the negatives and processed in LR.
