An Antique Camera By Kodak
George Eastman has invented the film camera - This camera had a special "KoDak" sound when the shutter was pressed to take the picture. He also had the impression that K was very strong so he quickly detected the Ko-dak sound.
Photography is really something special its so interesting how something can immortalize the images and people could stare and contemplate the pictures years, months after that event has past. The time came then for George to name his invention, and he didn't think of a name related to his own one, like Eastman or George, instead, he named it "Kodak" and so the whole world had been introduced to Kodak camera and quickly embraced his new invention. George Eastman's initial camera was created from wood and had enough film for at least 100 pictures. When somebody finished the film he or she would send their camera to George, then George would unload the film, put a new one inside, and gave the camera back to the owner, entrusting him with the risk to wrongly develop the pictures.
Nowadays, when someone is seeing the disposable camera he/she can't help thinking of the old Kodak camera invented by George Eastman - what an unmatched similitude two of them have! Nowadays, in this fast paced world, when somebody takes disposable cameras to Kodak, he gets his pictures back, however the camera remains with Kodak Company. This makes him sad that he doesnt get to have the camera back. These old Kodak cameras arent easily available - maybe among collectors only, who wouldnt sell them easily or maybe in museums. What somebody can find in antique stores are Brownie Letterette Box cameras.
When getting in contact with an antique Kodak Camera, its important to examine it closely. The important things someone needs to know are that the lens system is mounted in the wood, the viewfinder will permit him to take pictures horizontally or while laying the camera over. One could also manage to take vertical pictures - a window or a red slot would permit reading the number that is positioned in the back of the film.
The two small tabs positioned on the camera easily get people fascinated - the small one is used for time laps photography: Pull up on it with your fingernail then click the shutter which will open and stay like that and will expose the lens mounted in wood - while in this position, get your fingernail below the larger tab of the two - a brass plate which has a hole slides on the lens thats the "aperture setting" if you pull up more you will discover some other size hole, which is another aperture opening. Here you should slide back the tabs then everything will go back to their original position.
