The Foldex 20 was one of those impulse buys that I immediately regretted, I bought it for about $3, which was more than the camera was worth. It's a very simple camera, a single shutter speed and a bulb setting, single aperture, and a fixed focus lens, just point and shoot. Apparently it was manufactured during the 1950's in Chicago. This is not a high quality camera, but it works, sort-of. It can take either 620 or 120 film, and produces 6x9cm negatives
The lens is not known for it's sharpness, although some of the blurriness could be attributed to camera shake, as the shutter speed appears to be closer to 1/30 rather than 1/50.
These first three shots actually aren't all that bad. But I took these in rapid succession. The remaining frames were more spread out, which as you will see allowed small light leaks to build up.
I took these shots around my complex and along the bike path that runs along it's edge. Here you can see the light leaks start to build up.
