Received as part of a trade with a fellow collector (he got my Mamiya C220, I got two lenses for my Kiev 4a, plus this and some other great stuff), this model dates from the 1910s-20s and is in beautiful condition. It shoots eight images on 120 film, a little shorter than usual due to the "autographic" feature. The shooter could use the scribe provided and etch information about each picture thru a little window on the back of the camera. Obviously very slow film in those days -- try to get away with it today, you'd never make it.
So I shot a roll of Ilford Pan F + thru it on Christmas Eve 2009 and developed it in Acufine on Christmas Day. I'm very pleased with this, to be sure!
January 2010: The white-framed images starting at the bottom of page 2 were shot on Kodak BW400CN chromogenic film (a color film that takes b&w pics). Take note of the two that are of the same scene: the first is sunrise, the 2nd is noonish on the same day. Somebody who saw these told me they'd be perfect in color...hmph.
