Prizes:
Grand Prize:

with owner's manual, neck strap,
and close-up lens, in box.

Second Prize:
One (1) Kodak Brownie Hawkeye
Flash Model
camera (picture below),
with choice of either a B&W photocopy or
a color
scan of owner's manual
on
CD-ROM. Uses 620 film.
Camera has been modified by the
Argus Collectors' Group's
very own James Surprenant;
it now sports a hot-shoe
in place of the old Kodak-proprietary "pin & screw" flash
contacts AND has been modified to synchronize
with modern electronic flash units (a.k.a. "X-sync").
Special thanks to James for donating this prize!
