DIY again

Yes it is DIY but this time the DIY I like. Have been meaning to do some DIY on this Kershaw "Penguin" for some time, thus the inclusion of the original manual and a modern lens brush which helped me clean it up.In its day it took type 120 film and was sold by Kershaw--Soho(Sales). This camera belonged to my Mum and Dad and was used to record their early married days. I used it a number of years ago and it still worked, also it is one of a pair and I think you may see more of them in then future.

Ah the real DIY still plodding along will get it done eventually!!!!
Nice interesting shot, I love old cameras but have to many other collection to have them at home. It's understandable your connection with this one, being your parents.

Oh gosh what a lovely old camera... bet it would be wonderful to use it and see how it does, do you think you can still get the film for it? Love the comp with the paperwork too

What a super old camera, they certainly don't make them like that nowadays, photography definitely runs in the family.
