Information channel on some of the iconic Kodak cameras from the 1960's, 1970's, and 1980's. I'll have a big focus on the Kodak Instamatic cameras using the 126 film cartridges. I'll try to give information about the cameras and show some restoration work too. Hope you enjoy.

Hello, my gran recently passed away and she had this camera. Do you have a link to the film adaptor or can I use 35mm film?
Not sure if you are still active on this video clip. I happened to find it since buying one of these Kodak worlds fair camera. I have actually bought two. Both flashes do not work though and can’t figure out why. Hoping to see if you had any advice. Thank you.
I acquired one from my mother in law, it was her parents. I was tinkering around with it. It still has film in it! Great video! Helped me function it without a hassle. Thank you.
Would it be possible to 3d print the corner piece?
Hey, I got a roll for my 1920 box camera and I realised it’s meant for loading on the left side, can I place it upside down? Or are the perforations only one side
where do i find the appropriate film?
I love these late 127 cameras. Have the Fiesta and Fiesta R4, as well the "off brand" Imperial Satellite. The final evolution of the box camera before 126 killed them all off.
Would like to have seen photographs or negatives from this camera. Interested in the resolution and detail. Is possible for you to comment on this please? Thanks.
FYI: 126 cameras were produced until 1988, Kodak 126 film was produced until 1999 and 126 film in general was produced until 2007, the last manufacturer being Ferrania (Italy) which went out of business in 2012. Fortunately they got things going again in 2014 and are producing 4 different types of black and whit felm by now, the plan is to make color film (print/reversal) and also in dead formats like 126.

What would my cameraosity be the code is y100 I can’t figure out and I’m curious how old mines is thank you so much for the video I picked one up at a flea market an also a instamatic 100
Small pedantic note: the 30s is not “early 1900s.” The 30s is early-to-mid *20th century.* Even 1907 isn’t early 1900s. Early 1900s would be 1900-1904, maybe 05. Giving the full number implies a decade, for example: me, born in 2007: I was not born in the early 2000s, I was born in the late 2000s. Early 21st century.
Got a Kodak duaflex 2! Do you think this method will work with this camera?
My ten year old son is completely obsessed with cameras and radios. He just bought this camera. Do you have a suggestion for a vintage beginners camera that we can still buy film for?
Do i need a flash cube for this? I found one at the goodwill but no flash cube :(
watching this is hopes of restoring mine🫡
I've been thinking about buying one of these, and your video told me what I need to know. It looks like a great camera, but with no option for a flash attachment I think I'll have to pass on it. Sigh.
Coo commercial, Bewitched is one of the best shows ever!
Thank you so much! This was super helpful!
Music killed the vid. 🐊
SO amateurish.. imagine putting background music on videos with NARRATION 🙄 can hardly hear a word 🤷
Wow thanks best video for counting frames. Super I have kodak 116 Autographic 1914.. Will try colour landscapes now. Raymond norfolk England.
If you still have the is camera, can you take a pic of the battery contacts inside the battery compartment for me? And pm that to me? I think one of the contacts are either broken off or missing on my 300. Thanks Julie
What is the shutter speed of it I rolled 35m on 127 rolls
I bought a Kodak S10 for $5 - super cool little dude but the battery holder is missing!! I guess my journey to get it running has come to an end. At least it looks cool on a shelf 🙁
Thank you for making such an informative, easy to fallow, and concise video. I just found this Kodak Special Six-20 in my dear departed grandfathers basement and I’m very excited to try it out.
Tenho uma Brasileira. Câmara KODAK INSTAMATIC 11, sim, nela esta escrito "câmara". Legal !! A minha esta com aparencia impecável. Alem dela, tem outras duas antiga e ahora tenho uma D5000 NIKON.
eu tb tenho essa instamatic 11! vc sabe dizer se ainda funciona ou serve apenas p decoração?
Had a model 304 for many years until the shutter failed. Took it apart and was somewhat disappointed by the very simple plastic lens. I recently purchased a functioning 404 in a thrift store; presumably the same specs as the 304 except for the interesting wind-up film advance.
116 was introduced by Kodak in 1899 not 1930’s and was actually one of the very first roll films Kodak produced. There are a couple of places that spool 116 film but it’s expensive. I use the No. 2 Kodak which takes 120.
Perfectly in character. I love it. But it seems so weird that this aired when I was only 5. When I was watching it in the 70s it was already well into re-runs.
I have STRUGGLED to find a vid about this camera thank you
You put it... the wrong way round? The left cartridge feeds into the right cartridge
I saw this film referenced in a notebook that my grandma had lying around - what a neat relic of the past!
The Kodak Instamatic 44 was the first camera I ever bought when I was 10 years old in 1970. It was the start of a hobby that has gotten out of control. I'm retired now and I have way too much photographic equipment and still buying more. Even with a whole bunch of professional DSLR bodies and lenses, the little Kodak 44 has a special place in my heart.
Dose anyone know where to get some non expired film? I didn’t do much looking but couldn’t seem to find any.
If I don't want to use the flash, do I even need batteries ?
Hello ! No :)
It doesn't 'go down to two seconds.' It goes down to half a second. 1/25, 1/10, 1/5, 1/2.
How are the originals powered?
This is very helpful. MY exemplar has the feed spool missing- I have bought another to fix this. This will/is helpful to see how it goes together. I will also use this opportunity; waiting for the replacement camera/parts to clean the finder.
I don't know if it would lock into place like the nissin flash, but another alternative is the vivitar 118. It has a wire bracket the clipped around the body of 110 cameras.
I know for fact that 620 film was available at least through 1975as it was commonly available at the camera/electronics section of any Fred Meyer store in the Northwest..
Isen't 116 from 1899?
Merhaba Türkiye de yaşıyorum ve filmi bulamıyorum acaba yanlış mı arıyorum yardımcı olabilir misiniz?
Anyway you could share the manual with me, please?
I have the same kind of camera but im having trouble finding the exact battery for it. could you tell what battery you used, it would be very helpful. 🙏
What does it mean if I have no numbers ???
man, this is barbaric
And to think hat for many years, I have been using changing bags and respooling it. Thanks!
donde compro los bombillos
You've missed the first frame because of the dumb way 1 is sometimes written in USA - as I. Arabic numeral 1 is never supposed to look like I. Great video with nice explanation.
