You are bidding on a great 1930's Kodak 35 film Camera. It takes 35mm film and has a 50MM f5.8 lens and a Kodak Kodex No. 1 Shutter. Comes with original leather strap.
The Kodak 35 was introduced in 1938 as the first US manufactured 35mm camera from Eastman Kodak Company. It was developed in Rochester, New York when it became likely that imports from the Kodak AG factory in Germany could be disrupted by war.
This first Kodak 35 has no rangefinder. It takes thirty-six 24×36... mm frames on 135 film. The precision molded black Bakelite body has satin-chromed top and base plates, and a collapsible finder is mounted on top center. The removable Bakelite back with the attached base plate slides easily off for film handling. It is secured by a centrally located wing key in the base plate. The knobs on top of the camera are also black Bakelite.
Shutter speeds are T, B, 25, 50, 100. Aperture range is f5.6, 8, 11, 16.
To use: Take the back off and load a 35mm cartridge. and replace back and lock on the bottom. Cycle through a couple frames and set the film counter to zero. Click the shutter on the lens assembly then depress the small button on top and turn the "wind" button until it stops. Repeat through the whole roll. To rewind, lift the wind button and then turn the rewind button clockwise.
Condition: The body is very good with some wear. The shutter and aperture both work. The viewer has the front piece but it has come off the viewfinder. I've taped it in place to use. I've tested it with film and all mechanical functions are working. The glass is clean.
Buyer pays $8 shipping & handling in the lower 48. International bidders are always welcome but pay actual international shipping costs. We offer delivery confirmation and tracking on US orders at no additional charge. Bid with Confidence! We guarantee our sales.
