My son gave me the same camera, but perhaps a little older. Doesn't state a Series 1 or 2, just No 1 Pocket Camera. Also, latest patent was Nov 1921. Bellows also in good shape but comes straight out on rail from full recess in body rather than the bending bellows noted in the video. Shutter slightly different with 1/25, 1/50 then T or B modes which differ as T is a double press - one to open and another to close, where B is press and hold. Also doesn't have traditional f-stops but numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 which roughly translates to f11, f16, f22, f32. It is a fun camera to take out, but can definitely tell how glass has improved over the millennium and/or focus softening with the guess focus scale of 6, 8, 10, 25 or 100 feet. Just an FYI, if your back loosens/released with the metal slider, discovered on first roll how could accidently slide open. Now, to avoid the accidental light leak, when loading film put a piece of black electrical tape over the latch to secure it, plus reminds me the camera is loaded with film.
Hello! I just recently got a pocket kodak myself and I’m wondering do you develop your own film or do you send it to someone? Would love to use my camera for living history. Just need to know where to get film developed! Lol
I use thedarkroom.com I want to process my own film, but printing is not an option for me. So I'd need a scanner, but I can't find one that's affordable while being good quality.
Wow results. Great job. How satisfying. The clarity is amazing.
That was cool. Pictures came out great!!
People...photograph people. Thanks for the advice about using this camera. I purchased three slightly different ones.
One clarification. It's not really a prism, it's just a mirror. I needed to disassemble the one I bought today :)

Another fun video, when a person gets scans back from a processor are the inverted or positive? Can they then be taken into Lightroom? New to all this
My scans come back exactly how you're seeing them in the videos. They're positives.
Great, that’s what I was hoping, just seen some different methods and I was confused
