Kodak Pocket - Model 1895 |
With its measurements of 3 x 2 1/4 x 4", this little camera can be put
into the pocket of a coat or the handbag of an elegant. This probably
explains it designation of Pocket Kodak. |
The Kodak Company exists since just 7 years when this tiny camera is
introduced on the market.
It uses the new film 102 specialy created by Kodak and producing 1 1/2 x
2 " negatives.
3 versions of this small camera exist : |
 |
 | the model 1895 presented here; easily identifiable due to
its round viewfinder and using a sector shutter. |
| the model 1896 with a square viewfinder and a pull for pause B. |
| the model D (or 1900) : same as 1896 plus another pull for
aperture selection. |
The first models were equipped with felt film guides.
 These
ones have been replaced with roller guides.
The sector shutter of the 1895 was replaced later on with a
rotary one.
Some lucky people (isn't it Didier ?) can found a special version
covered with red leather. Just superb !!!
