Kodak Retina Reflex
Not only did Eastman Kodak introduce us to the roll film box cameras and numerous types of "Brownie" cameras, they also pumped out a few 35mm cameras as well.


Kodak Plus-X Film & Canisters
Remember when film was "Safety Film"? What was so safe about it? Ands lets not forget those metal canisters with the screw top lid.


Kodak Disc 4000
The introduction of the Disc Camera in 1982 was at first greatly accepted and quite innovative. But in the end the Disc Camera's small 8x10mm negative was also its demise..


Brownie Starflash
This classic from the late 50's, sports a built in flash gun, 2 aperture settings and used the unversal 127 film size. Also availabe in colors as well as a special Coca Cola version.


Zeiss Ikon Contina II
This 35mm camera may have been made in 1952 but it produces images as sharp as anything you can buy today. And it should be with its Zeiss lens.


Photography Advertising Part II
Another great batch of vintage camera ads: Miranda, Konica, Minnon, Honeywell the Olympus Pen camera and a really cool Canon Dial 35. Plus a really great Kodak processing ad thats really "hot".




Photography Advertising
Stroll down photographic memory lane as we have preserved some vintage advertisements for cameras and other photographic products. Test your memory and see if you remember any of these gems.


Eastman Bullet Camera
This version of the "Bullet" camera line was produced from 1936 - 1942 and it made three wide narrow exposures on 127 roll film. It sold new for $2.75 and also had a special version for the 1939 Worlds Fair in New York.


No. 2 Brownie Camera (Model D)
The Brownie No. 1 was introduced in February of 1900 and made six 21/4 x 21/4 images on 120 roll film. It sold for 1 dollar and film was 15 cents a roll. The introduction of the brownie meant that photography had become a hobby that virtually anyone could afford.
