Description: These were considered compact cameras in 1937, and the cost was $14 (approx. $257 today). So, they weren’t inexpensive, but gave non-professional photographers a camera they could use. Selling points for similar cameras in the early 20th century were “You don’t need a darkroom”. Focusing was completely manual, and consisted of setting the lens to the correct subject distance, etched on the side of the lens barrel in feet and meters. The lens on mine is a Kodak lens with a built in leaf shutter, and adjustments for aperture (f/6.3-f/32) and shutter speeds (T, B, 1/25, 1/50, 1/100). So by today’s standards, very limited. Back then, this allowed the average photographer some flexibility over the fixed focus and even fixed shutter speeds and f-stops of many cameras. *This camera takes 620 film which is still available from selected photographic outlets. Although the actual film is the same as 120 film, the spools are different. The 620 spools are slightly shorter and have a smaller diameter.
