HIS-TORY

National UK Camera Day . . . this day celebrates photographs, the camera and its invention . . . so here is my SIX 20 KODAK JUNIOR . . . a basic 6x9 folding roll film camera, using the 620 film format. Straight side struts prove that this was made in the UK between 1933 and 1940. The camera has two frame finders – one at waist level on the body and an optical viewfinder near the shutter. Germany and USA also built this type of camera.
Shutter speeds are T, B, 1/25, 1/50, and 1/100 second with an aperture range of f11 – f32 on the Kodon lens.

The camera is an irreplaceable tool used to record and replicate memories, events and people/places . . . known today as BLIP !

Did you know . . . George Eastman, the Father of Photography and founder of the Eastman Kodak Company, produced his first camera in 1888. While he did not invent the camera, he did invent many additions that improved the use, ease and production of a camera, making it widely available to homes around the world.
His own explanation of the Kodak name  . . . a  tradename must be short, vigorous, incapable of being misspelled . . . and in order to satisfy trademark laws, it must mean nothing. . . . The letter k had always been a favorite and was a strong, incisive sort of letter. . . . Then it became a question of trying out combinations of letters that made words starting and ending with k . . . hence Kodak !
