Description:
The Brownie Twin 20 has a moulded plastic body and can use a screw and pin flash. An unusual feature is an optical direct vision finder in addition to a brilliant finder. It offers a choice of EV13(f/11), EV14(f/16) and EV15(f/22) plus focusing for close-ups(4-6ft), groups(6-12ft) and scenes(12ft-inf).
Fun Facts:
What a great Brownie! Though a simple Brownie at heart, this camera was marketed towards those who wanted to take photography to the next level by taking control over aperture and focus. It additionally has two viewfinders which I find puzzling however I can see how it could be used as a selling point.
The models assembled in the UK have a stamp on the bottom.
