วีดีโอ

Very helpful! I just picked one of these camera's up and was hoping to be able to clean it. Thanks!

how do you remove the oxidation

love the video ! thank you!I just purchased one at an estate sell. I want to start using it i ordered some 127 Shanghai film. Do you know when loading would it need darkness? or should i be able to load in light? i ( I thought about getting a dark bag, but is there a way to see what you are doing ? )

Have this exact camera. This method did not work because the 120 roll is just fatter and binds in the spool.

My first cámera!!! When i was 14 . Thankyou!

If you don't develop your own film make sure your lab sends back the 620 spool. I'm not sure how the modified spool takes as a take up spool (on the winding side) as the slots in the 120 are much bigger.

I got one insta11 in 1981 and if i remember it had a red transparent plastic on the back (yours has a open hole on the back)

Jan Brady. Sigh.

god bless u

I have one of those in House

Rent free in your head buddy

You dead or money all dried up on TH-cam buddy

Some of the Kodak cameras from that time period like the 800 use radio active thoriated glass to improve the lenses optical properties.

Several things: First, regarding the dial on top of the camera which you said you didn't know if it did anything. It is simply to remind you of what type if film you loaded. You set the dial to your film type when you load it. Since Kodachrome slide film was one of the most popular film types to use for stereo photography, they made it easy to set the pointer to. It should be mentioned that the majority of stereo photographers shot their images on transparency film. Also, the manual shutter switch on the bottom does allow you to take double exposures. This is mostly for in-studio work where you wanted to create some "trick" images, like ghost images or having a subject/model appear to be interacting with themselves. Chances are you wouldn't use that function when shooting landscapes or architecture (unless you planned on superimposing something else over the landscape). Another thing, you didn't mention the notches at the bottom of each window on the inside of the camera. The left window has one notch, and the right window has two. This clever feature creates little triangular points on the final image so that you can tell which frame is the right image and which is the left when you're mounting your stereo slides at home. Finally, I have to agree, the music adds nothing and makes your narration more difficult to understand. Good video nonetheless!

What ISO is it? With a iso 400 film, what iso should I tell the lightmeter to go for?

Hello, my gran recently passed away and she had this camera. Do you have a link to the film adaptor or can I use 35mm film?

Not sure if you are still active on this video clip. I happened to find it since buying one of these Kodak worlds fair camera. I have actually bought two. Both flashes do not work though and can’t figure out why. Hoping to see if you had any advice. Thank you.

I acquired one from my mother in law, it was her parents. I was tinkering around with it. It still has film in it! Great video! Helped me function it without a hassle. Thank you.

Would it be possible to 3d print the corner piece?

Hey, I got a roll for my 1920 box camera and I realised it’s meant for loading on the left side, can I place it upside down? Or are the perforations only one side

where do i find the appropriate film?

I love these late 127 cameras. Have the Fiesta and Fiesta R4, as well the "off brand" Imperial Satellite. The final evolution of the box camera before 126 killed them all off.

Would like to have seen photographs or negatives from this camera. Interested in the resolution and detail. Is possible for you to comment on this please? Thanks.

FYI: 126 cameras were produced until 1988, Kodak 126 film was produced until 1999 and 126 film in general was produced until 2007, the last manufacturer being Ferrania (Italy) which went out of business in 2012. Fortunately they got things going again in 2014 and are producing 4 different types of black and whit felm by now, the plan is to make color film (print/reversal) and also in dead formats like 126.

What would my cameraosity be the code is y100 I can’t figure out and I’m curious how old mines is thank you so much for the video I picked one up at a flea market an also a instamatic 100

Small pedantic note: the 30s is not “early 1900s.” The 30s is early-to-mid *20th century.* Even 1907 isn’t early 1900s. Early 1900s would be 1900-1904, maybe 05. Giving the full number implies a decade, for example: me, born in 2007: I was not born in the early 2000s, I was born in the late 2000s. Early 21st century.

Got a Kodak duaflex 2! Do you think this method will work with this camera?

My ten year old son is completely obsessed with cameras and radios. He just bought this camera. Do you have a suggestion for a vintage beginners camera that we can still buy film for?

Do i need a flash cube for this? I found one at the goodwill but no flash cube :(

watching this is hopes of restoring mine🫡

I've been thinking about buying one of these, and your video told me what I need to know. It looks like a great camera, but with no option for a flash attachment I think I'll have to pass on it. Sigh.

Coo commercial, Bewitched is one of the best shows ever!

Thank you so much! This was super helpful!

Music killed the vid. 🐊

SO amateurish.. imagine putting background music on videos with NARRATION 🙄 can hardly hear a word 🤷

Wow thanks best video for counting frames. Super I have kodak 116 Autographic 1914.. Will try colour landscapes now. Raymond norfolk England.

If you still have the is camera, can you take a pic of the battery contacts inside the battery compartment for me? And pm that to me? I think one of the contacts are either broken off or missing on my 300. Thanks Julie

What is the shutter speed of it I rolled 35m on 127 rolls

I bought a Kodak S10 for $5 - super cool little dude but the battery holder is missing!! I guess my journey to get it running has come to an end. At least it looks cool on a shelf 🙁

Thank you for making such an informative, easy to fallow, and concise video. I just found this Kodak Special Six-20 in my dear departed grandfathers basement and I’m very excited to try it out.

Tenho uma Brasileira. Câmara KODAK INSTAMATIC 11, sim, nela esta escrito "câmara". Legal !! A minha esta com aparencia impecável. Alem dela, tem outras duas antiga e ahora tenho uma D5000 NIKON.

Had a model 304 for many years until the shutter failed. Took it apart and was somewhat disappointed by the very simple plastic lens. I recently purchased a functioning 404 in a thrift store; presumably the same specs as the 304 except for the interesting wind-up film advance.

116 was introduced by Kodak in 1899 not 1930’s and was actually one of the very first roll films Kodak produced. There are a couple of places that spool 116 film but it’s expensive. I use the No. 2 Kodak which takes 120.

Perfectly in character. I love it. But it seems so weird that this aired when I was only 5. When I was watching it in the 70s it was already well into re-runs.

I have STRUGGLED to find a vid about this camera thank you

You put it... the wrong way round? The left cartridge feeds into the right cartridge

I saw this film referenced in a notebook that my grandma had lying around - what a neat relic of the past!

The Kodak Instamatic 44 was the first camera I ever bought when I was 10 years old in 1970. It was the start of a hobby that has gotten out of control. I'm retired now and I have way too much photographic equipment and still buying more. Even with a whole bunch of professional DSLR bodies and lenses, the little Kodak 44 has a special place in my heart.

Dose anyone know where to get some non expired film? I didn’t do much looking but couldn’t seem to find any.
