Chronology of cameras Kodak

Traduction de Manuel M

The last of the series of Bantam with bellows, this model is built out of metal, and either out of bakelite like its elders. So it is more resistant to the shocks and one can easily find it and in good condition.
The setting of the camera is automatic, and a pressure on the locking button releases the bellows and the viewfinder.
The corners of the body are more angular than before, which with my opinion take off a part of its charm.
