Restoration | Video
I've restored a few Kodak Brownie Hawkeye's, each varying slightly depending on the year they were made. In the attached video, I restored my first model from 1959 and it's so interesting to see how the camera developed over its 12-year run. From metal winding knobs and glass lens and viewfinders to plastic winding knobs and plastic lens and viewfinder. I can't comment on the picture quality of the glass vs. plastic lens but I don't doubt there are reviews out there in this regard.
