La période où je suis né !!! Les objectifs Schneider et Rodenstock ont été par la suite fabriqués surtout pour les agrandisseurs de tirages photos ! excellente qualité !
Bonne Journée de la Photo !

Thanks to the different pip's, it is easy to imagine how to deal with that cam, which seems to have been used a lot. Have you also worked with it yourself?
Great share!

Fine history, a shame that Kodak were not successful in continuing with the transition to digital photography. Perfect for World Photography Day.

wow - i don't think i've ever seen this type Kodak camera before. your last year's box camera contribution was much more familiar to me.

are we going to have to wait another year for another of your collection? *smile*
i got to use a box camera when in England in June. i taught the owner how to use it and i think they were inspired. i got digital copies of some of the photos - they might show up here eventually.

and of course the photo is in black & white - appropriate for that old of a camera.
you did a nice job of filling the image with the camera. those type cameras are sturdy and the composition choice matches the subject.

Happy World Photography Day!
