The Kodak Instamatic camera range is one of the most successful mass markets in the history of photography. Their specification ranged from a basic box camera to an automatic model making these cameras simple in construction and easy to use (Coe, 97). Kodak Canada 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.
Function
To record still images on photographic film.
Technical
A camera that produced 28 X 28 mm on 126 film using a fixed focus f11/43 mm lens and a two-speed shutter. This was the first Instamatic model to use the new "Magnicube" or "X-cubes", which require no batteries (McKeown, 155).
