The<a href=\"https:\/\/www.brownie-camera.com\/45.shtml\"> Brownie Super 27 camera<\/a> was advertised and sold in the early 1960s. It was basically a tarted up Baby Brownie: bigger viewfinder, built in flash, better lens at f\/8, two speed shutter (but failure prone apparently), horizontal construction for stability, top release button, and using mini AG-1 flash bulbs and 127 film. \u00a0The two speed shutter setting was changed by opening or closing the flash door; \u00a0and a front knob set the lens to f\/8 or f\/13.5. Ads for the Brownie\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/camera-wiki.org\/wiki\/Kodak_Brownie_Super_27\">Super 27<\/a>\u00a0said it was very steady leading to sharper colour or B&amp;W photos in daylight.<\/p>\n<p>An auto version was briefly made, but pricier. The front aperture setting knob was replaced by a sensor. \u00a0Both models used a fake sensor panel below the viewfinder. They were constructed of a hard <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jollinger.com\/photo\/cam-coll\/cameras\/Kodak_Brownie_Super27.html\">plastic<\/a> prone to breaking if dropped on a hard surface.<\/p>\n<p>Like many cameras of the 1960s, the Super 27 touted its built-in flash, bright finder, and adjustments for colour or B&amp;W. \u00a0If you are really curious, you can read the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cameramanuals.org\/kodak_pdf\/brownie_super_27.pdf\">instruction manual here<\/a> courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.butkus.org\/\">Mike Butkis<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toronto.
