Indeed. I'm writing a little book about how to use a Box Camera (whoops, 
another bit of shameless self-promotion?). Shooting into the sun when you 
have one shutter speed, one aperture and a one element meniscus lens, as 
most people did, was a recipe for disaster.
And one other thing that suddenly occurred to me is that with a Box you had 
to make your shot - you actually took people out into the sunshine for a 
photograph. Anything but good midday light was pretty much unusable so 
taking a photograph became an event. I'd forgotten that and I suspect so 
have most of us with all the 'features' that we now have.
Pass me my Brownie!
