They do have red windows, but, in the case of the Ensign, I've put felt around the aperture inside the camera, and put a flap of gaffer tape over the outside.
The Isolette has a sliding metal cover over the window, but what is a problem with it is that it can be accidentally opened when sliding it out of the case, as the release catch is pulled down when removing. (I know, I've done it!) |

I have used my Ensign Selfix 1620 with colour film in the past with excellent results. I had no issue with the red window.

Richard, a camera from the 1030s eh? That could explain the legend. Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin. A Jersey photographer had missed the ferry to Poole but spotted a lot of French ships passing close by and hitched a lift. He was after all almost a neighbour.
A duke on board spotted his camera and when the photographer explained what it did, the duke said: "That's just what I need to record my visit to England but we're going a little more to the East than Poole. I'll take the snaps back to Bayeux and have the ladies make a tapestry out of the scenes unless you can guarantee the negatives for at least a thousand years". The rest, as they say, is history.

Mike, You got your history wrong, you see, Jersey formed part of that dukes army, after all, we were part of his dukedom, and so we have the proud boast that we conquered you lot in 1066,and we still have a duke of Normandy, when your Queen visits us we address her as our Duke, so it was a Jersey Photographer who took the pictures that formed the bayeux Tapestry, Thats why Photography was invented in secret, by our Duke, and was hidden from those Saxons for so many centuarys

Older cameras were not made with panchromatic film, let alone colour film, in mind and hence may not have been designed with good baffling from the red window. That of course is why it was red - because they were originally designed for orthochromatic film that was insensitive to red light and hence you could get away with a little stray red light reaching the film. As I already said, I have found it not to be a problem in practice in my folders as long as I keep the window covered when not in use. |
