Old camera from the NEW Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull





So my family and I went to see the NEW Indiana Jones tonight and it was Awesome. It brought back tons of old fun memories that I have from the previous 3 movies. We had a blast! We even bought the Indiana Jones popcorn bucket for life. It's a huge bucket for $8 and you can refill it as many times and as often as you like for .50 cents. Can you say heart attack! But not if you are reasonable, right? So I'm not a big fan of giving away any info on movies before you see them, pet peeve and I think it takes away the magic! But...@ the end of the movie you'll see someone using the Kodak Brownie Hawkeye and I won't tell you who is using this camera. I'd love to see you post it, if you spot it.
The Kodak Brownie Hawkeye was well known for being one of the best square film cameras of it's time. Kodak released it in the fall of 1950 and stopped manufacturing it in the summer of 1961. It takes 620 roll film, better known as 2 1/4 by 2 1/4. The model that I have from my vintage collection is the flash model. Unfortunately I don't have the flash but if I find one. I'll post it :)
Image above shot with 1D Mark III + Canon 100mm 2.8 Macro. Camera on the left was shot hand held with available room light @ 1/80th, 2.8, 3200 ISO. Camera on the right has been cross-processed, because I love it that way!

Spotted it yesterday and started searching if I was right and found this post. I do have the same model.
