The Eastman Kodak Brownie Target Six-20 was produced between 1941 and 1952. The camera's housing is stiff cardboard covered in leatherette. It has a meniscus lens (one convex side and one concave side) and two viewfinders, one for portraits and the other for landscapes. It uses 620 roll film to produce 2 1/4" by 3 1/4" images. The rotary shutter is set at one speed (~1/40th of a second) and a slider on top of the metal faceplate sets the aperture. Pulling up on the slider allows for bright subjects such as snow, while keeping the slider pushed in allows for ordinary shots.
