The pocket [[Kodak]] No. 1 series II is a [[folding]] A[[120 film]] camera from the early years of the 20th century. It uses [[autographic]] rollfilm that was produced by Eastman Kodak between 1914 and 1934. There's a patent statement dating from 1916 on the body so it can't be earlier than 1916. The negative size is 6&times;9 cm or 2 1/4&times; 3 1/4 inch. It has a Kodak anastigmat 108/7,7 lens. That's not a fast lens. The Diomatic No. 0 shutter has six settings, B, T 1/10 1/50 1/100 and 1/200s. That's not bad at all. It even has an exposure advice. Select aperture and lighting conditions ''dull, gray, clear'' or ''brillant''. At the shown aperture "figures indicate required exposure" as it states on the lever. Later models, like the [[Kodak autographic 2c]], even have a rangefinder coupled to the lens plate to focusing the camera instead of guessing the distance.

The film is wound by a lug on top of the camera. Just wind untill the next framenumber apperas in the red window in the back. Naturally, the shutter has to be cocked seperately, on the lens.

The Pocket Kodak No. 1 series II is a folding 120 film camera made from 1922 to 1931.[1] It uses 120 autographic roll film that was produced by Eastman Kodak between 1914 and 1934, you can also use standard 120 film. It has exposure advice; select aperture and lighting conditions dull, gray, clear or brilliant. At the shown aperture "figures indicate required exposure" as it states on the lever.

  • Type: 6×9 cm or 2¼×3¼" folding camera.
  • Film Type: 120 Autographic Roll Film, can use standard 120 film as well
  • Lens: Kodak Anastigmat 108mm f/7.7
  • Diaphragm: f/7.7 continuously adjustable to f/32
  • Shutter: Diomatic No. 0 - Manually cocked
  • Shutter Speeds: Bulb, Time, 1/10, 1/50, 1/100 and 1/200th
  • Viewfinder: Waist level finder
  • Film Loading: Manual - removable back
  • Film Transport: Manual wind knob/lug with red window
  • Tripod Socket: Standard 1/4"

The camera was designed to use A120 film. To benefit from this autographic feature, a stylus with an Art Deco look was included (just above the window). Very often the stylus is lost on cameras you find at photographica fairs. On the back of the camera, you find the obvious red windows used for frame counting. On this camera, a little advice was imprinted in the black leather: use film No A120. Nowadays, all you can use is simple 120 film.

Viewfinder

The finder is a prism that, when looked at from a distance, gives you an idea of framing. The prism can be put in a horizontal or vertical position, so composing can be done by looking into it from above or from the side of the camera. The prism field is shows swiss cross for portrait or landscape pictures.
