Description
A fine example of the Kodak No. 3A Autographic folding camera circa 1917.
This camera had a ball bearing shutter and meniscus lens. Press a hidden button on the bottom plate and the bellows unfold, you then compose the photo thru a right-angle viewfinder above the lens, focus via a scale and trip the shutter with a lever or cable release.
The camera was designed to use a metal stylus to record information directly onto the margin of the negative via carbon transfer paper thru a flip-up window on the back. Photographed high res with Canon 5Ds at 50mp.
"What we do during our working hours determines what we have; what we do in our leisure hours determines what we are." George Eastman

Martin, congratulations on your 3rd place win in the contest - PHOTOS ONLY - VINTAGE AND ANTIQUE STILL LIFE, August 2022! You have earned bragging rights! I love the detailed description and that great George Eastman quote. As photographers, if we aren't telling the stories that go with our images, we are missing a key component of our work. Good job!
