Canada

Made in Canada. This is an inexpensive consumer camera intended for snapshots. Canada Kodak was founded by Eastman Kodak in 1899 in a Toronto shop where employees cut sheet film and fitted lenses on cameras to support the growing potential for a photographic market in Canada. As Canadian interest in photography grew, the company expanded across the country throughout the 20th century to produce in all aspects of photography including still and movie cameras, film, x-ray film, photocopy paper, and photographic chemicals under many popular names including Brownie, Kodacolor, Carousel, and Supermatic.

To record still images on photographic film.

Technical

A rigid body camera that uses 110 film and a Magicube flash, it has an F11/ 25mm fixed focus lens and a 2 speed shutter (1/90 normal and 1/40 flash) (KE – Notes). Above the view finder is space for self-adhesive motifs (Coe, 252). Pocket Instamatic cameras accompanied Kodak’s introduction of the 110 film cartridge, which produced 13x17mm exposures on 16mm film. The 110 format was introduced to compete with popular Japanese 16mm cameras.
