Kodak Bantam

The Kodak Bantam is a folding camera using Kodak's 828 film format (similar to unperforated 35mm film). It was a very compact camera, designed by the famous Walter Dorwin Teague. The basic model had a 1:12.5 Doublet lens and a single speed shutter. Most Bantams were strut folders, but one of the models of 1938 had a rectangular pull-out lens tube. The first model with rigid finder appeared in 1935, the luxurious Bantam Special in 1936, and the other models in 1938. Optical replacement finders were available for the models with rigid or metal frame finder. The Flash Bantam appeared in 1947, the Bantam RF in 1953.
