Solid body compact camera for 35 mm film, with built-in electronic flash - automatic focus and DX film speed sensor. Kodak Extanar f4.0 35 mm lens. Kodak AF2 Is all a plastic full automatic Kodak camera that occupies 35 mm of film. By shifting the flash to the side, the lens cover and viewfinder open. The camera is equipped with a Kodak Ekton 35mm f/2.8 lens and automatic focus. Moving the film and rewinding are motorized, and ISO settings are also automated by DX coding. The flash has a manual filling setting that can be used by holding a small slider on your thumb. It is powered by a 2CR2 battery. Kodak 35 and Kodak 35 long-range cameras were manufactured by Eastman Kodak from 1938 to 1951. Kodak 35 from 1938 to 1948 and rangefinder from 1940 t0 1951. The Kodak 35 series was released with a variety of shutters and lenses. Installed with The Kodak Anastigmat Special 50 mm F3.5 lens, or Kodak Anaster 50mm F3.5. The shutter was a Diomatic shutter, Flash Kodamatic or Kodak Flashmatic shutter with time, Bulb, and instant speed of 1/10 - 1/200sec with Kodak terminal synchronization. Prices varied depending on the combination of lenses. The Kodak 35 sold for $25.00, and the Kodak 35 with Rangefinder sold for $75.00. The Kodak 735, a DX programmed by the Brazilian made auto- wind camera, incorporating the flash introduces a large aperture. A similar camera was also available as the star 735 835AF is part of a series in which all cameras have a name that contains a number that ended with 35 as 235, 335, 435, etc. .. The series appeared in 1990 and disappeared in 1995. The devices of the series have a different design and specifications in which Kodak seems to get lost forever. The 835AF, autofocus, has an automatic flash, DX coding recognition to establish sensitivity, winding propulsion film and rewinding the Kodak Auto Color Snap 35 camera, 1960-1965, made by Kodak Ltd. 35 mm camera, metal and plastic. Kodak Anaston lens, F:43.9mm, f/5.6, coated. Automatic setting of the aperture; photo-cell, directly installing the aperture. Calibrated ASA 10-160. The low light signal shows an optical viewfinder in direct vision. Auto-manual set of settings with values 11/15, the yellow filter shows in sight the finder manually. The Kodak 35B is the evolution of the Automatic 35. A significant difference is the shutter and exposure control, which automatically takes into account the presence of a flash. The Kodak Automatic family can be considered as the American equivalent of Retinette IA and IB. The Kodak Automatic 35F, made from 1962- 66, the 35F was part of the 1959-69 Automatic and Motormatic Series 35 mm Camera Viewfinder. Featuring in combination with selenium exposure meter, they were Kodak's first auto exposure 35mm cameras. They also had the last 35mm camera Kodak made in the United States. Kodak Automatic 35 R4, Second, slightly different, version of automatic 35 called 35B. Version B does not allow manual exposure, but adds a lock number aperture-guide on the lens. The third version is the 35R4, which had a nest to take the Magicubes. The Kodak Automatic and Motormatic series was the last American Kodak camera, made 35 mm, and their first automatic exposure of 35 mm cameras. Tracking their original roots back in the Kodak 35 1938, there were seven different models; The first, the Kodak Automatic 35, was introduced in 1959, and the last, the Motormatic 35R4, was introduced in 1965. Production ceased in 1969. Kodak Colorsnap 35 - basically a 35mm version of Bantam Colorsnap, was made in the UK by Kodak Ltd. 43.9 mm f3.9 Anaston lens installed at one shutter speed, with a diaphragm scale marked in weather symbols and NOS EV. The lower side of the lens barrel is marked by a film speed scale that calibrates the aperture for weather symbols and is combined with a flash-distance scale. Installation for screw and contact flash is provided to users on the left. first made since July 1959-January 1964, with the top plate a step around the rewind handle; Release the shutter at the edge of the top plate is pressed backwards (rather than usually downwards); Kodak Colorsnap 35 second, Model 2, March 1964-November 1967, with a flat top plate, flush plate and a recessed/pop-up rewind pen (with a movie reminder on top); The shutter release is now exclusively at the front. The Model 2 lens is a barrel cylindrical rotating part rather than a conical section, and now has a groove for Kodisk filters that will simply fit around the outside on the first model. Kodak Expeditionis is the main camera of the 1980s for the 35 mm film. It has a built-in flash, motor film in advance, automatic exposure, DX coding and a 35 mm lens. It's not an underwater camera, it's an all-weather camera. It was done in Japan. Apparently identical, apart from changing the name to the Kodak Explorer, this camera was purchased from France, so there may have been an export version of the Kodak cameo: One of the most sophisticated cameras in the range, this Hong Kong made auto-focus camera function to switch normal/panorama formats and date/time ago. The film counter is an lcd display and tripod connector is designed to help the use of self-timer. Apparently identical cameo efm and cameo focus but in brown rather than black Kodak cameo moter EX, a compact camera shot with a lens that is drawn when a flashgun that shoots automatically when needed, folds up. This camera has a movie prewind. When the film is loaded, the entire film is automatically released from the cassette and then re-entered the cassette when it is exposed. This means that if the camera is opened by accident, only the unexposed film is destroyed. A small LCD panel shows the frame counter and flash status, there is also a tripod socket to use with a timer of its own. Kodak Euro-35 Champs-Elysees, apparently identical to the S100EF, this fixed focus Hong Kong made camera Ektanar lens. Three aperture options are available, the smallest when the camera is set for 400ASA film, intermediate at 100/200ASA settings, the widest when the flashgun is turned on, regardless of the film setting. Kodak Euro 35 Legend, apparently identical to the S100EF, this fixed Hong Kong focus made the camera Ektanar lens. Three aperture options are available, the smallest when the camera is set for 400ASA film, intermediate at 100/200ASA settings, the widest when the flashgun is turned on, regardless of the film setting.

Barely more than the retail boxes 110 film cartridges were sold in, this fixed focus camera was a boon for those who wanted a few shots but who didn't want to own (or forgot to pack) more sophisticated models. The price list was $6.95 Kodak FX, a major Chinese-built camera, very similar to the Star 275 aimed at a young customer. The slide switch controls the built-in lens lid and blocks the shutter.

Kodak BreezeAnother variation on the Kodak S100 EF, made in the HongKong Kodak 435 was sold from 1990 to 1994 with an initial price of US$49.95. It takes all the popular 35mm film format, has a built-in flash, and hand film in advance. Kodak Star 275: This Chinese made a fixed-focus camera shot, it appears to be identical to the photo FX, but without the brightly colored controls of this camera. The Kodak Star 1075z is a cheap compact camera with a (very simple) zoom lens not usually found in its price class.

    . • lr _; rj / EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY A Brief History In 1875, the art of photography was about a half a century old. It was still a cumbersome chore practiced primarily by studio professionals and a few ardent amateurs who were challenged by the difficulties of making photographs. About 1877, George Eastman, a young bank clerk in Roch­ ester, New York, began to plan for a vacation in the Caribbean. A friend suggested that he would do well to take along a photographic outfit and record his travels. The "outfit," Eastman discovered, was really a cartload of equipment that included a lighttight tent, among many other items. Indeed, field pho­ tography required an individual who was part chemist, part tradesman, and part contortionist, for with "wet" plates there was preparation immediately before exposure, and develop­ ment immediately thereafter-wherever one might be . Eastman decided that something was very inadequate about this system. Giving up his proposed trip, he began to study photography. At that juncture, a fascinating sequence of events began. They led to the formation of Eastman Kodak Company. George Eastman made A New Idea ... this self-portrait with Before long, Eastman read of a new kind of photographic an experimental film. plate that had appeared in Europe and England. This was the dry plate-a plate that could be prepared and put aside for later use, thereby eliminating the necessity for tents and field­ processing paraphernalia. The idea appealed to him. Working at night in his mother's kitchen, he began to experiment with the making of dry plates.

  • Photography Fundamentals Interpreted
    AHS Capstone Annotation Benjamin Bloom Gillian Epstein, advisor 10 May 2006 Photography: A Momentary Capture of Light Background The word photography, if translated etymologically, means “light-writing.”1 This very broad meaning has come to encompass a myriad of techniques and forms, from rudimentary early Daguerreotypes to modern digital imaging, each medium connected by the use of light to form an image. The photographic medium is a modern invention, first achieved on a sensitized pewter plate in 1826 by the French inventor Nicéphore Niépce.2 Photography has matured immensely in technology and technique over the past 180 years, providing a wide array of possibilities for the modern photographer. My project uses the two most common contemporary photographic methods, digital imaging and 35mm film, to explore the essence of photography as an artistic medium. In 1884, George Eastman, the founder of Eastman Kodak Company, invented a technique to coat paper with a light sensitive dry gel: the first photographic film. This invention brought photography to the consumer market because it was a self-contained system that did not require the consumer’s use of toxic chemicals.3 Modern film consists of a plastic substrate covered with a gel containing light-sensitive silver halide crystals (the emulsion). After the film is exposed to light, chemicals used during developing convert the silver halide crystals in the emulsion into visible metallic silver.4 This process leaves a negative image on the film, called the negative at this point in the process, and can be used to make positive image prints. To make a positive print, light is projected through the negative onto a sheet of paper that has been coated with a light-sensitive emulsion (a 1 Prosser, Jay.

  • FILM FORMATS ------8 Mm Film Is a Motion Picture Film Format in Which the Filmstrip Is Eight Millimeters Wide
    FILM FORMATS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8 mm film is a motion picture film format in which the filmstrip is eight millimeters wide. It exists in two main versions: regular or standard 8 mm and Super 8. There are also two other varieties of Super 8 which require different cameras but which produce a final film with the same dimensions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Standard 8 The standard 8 mm film format was developed by the Eastman Kodak company during the Great Depression and released on the market in 1932 to create a home movie format less expensive than 16 mm. The film spools actually contain a 16 mm film with twice as many perforations along each edge than normal 16 mm film, which is only exposed along half of its width. When the film reaches its end in the takeup spool, the camera is opened and the spools in the camera are flipped and swapped (the design of the spool hole ensures that this happens properly) and the same film is exposed along the side of the film left unexposed on the first loading. During processing, the film is split down the middle, resulting in two lengths of 8 mm film, each with a single row of perforations along one edge, so fitting four times as many frames in the same amount of 16 mm film. Because the spool was reversed after filming on one side to allow filming on the other side the format was sometime called Double 8. The framesize of 8 mm is 4,8 x 3,5 mm and 1 m film contains 264 pictures.

    Paper to be presented at the DRUID Society Conference 2014, CBS, Copenhagen, June 16-18 Modular Encapsulation and Japanese Dominance of the Professional Camera Sub-Market, 1955-1974. Paul Windrum Nottingham University Business School Strategy [email protected] Michelle Haynes University of Nottingham Business School [email protected] Peter Thompson Goizueta Business School Emory University [email protected] Abstract Modular encapsulation provides new features without altering the number of the core modules that make up a complex product, or their functionality. This innovation strategy has not been considered in the mirroring literature. Using a dataset of prices and product features for 1,816 professional cameras sold between 1955 and 1974, we apply data envelope analysis (DEA) to test the strategic significance of lens and body encapsulation by proprietary automated exposure (AE) systems. We find that the professional camera market was modular between 1955 and 1960, dominated by Ger-man specialist body and specialist lens manufacturers. Market structure changed due to the success of innovative Japanese start-ups, particularly integrated body and lens manufacturers who, from 1961, successfully developed proprietary AE systems that offered users novel features. The success of these Japanese integrated manufacturing firms broke the mirror between product architecture and industry architecture.
