Description
The pocket Kodak No. 1 series II is a folding A120 film camera made from 1922 to 1931 (according to McKeown). It uses autographic rollfilm that was produced by Eastman Kodak between 1914 and 1934. All Pocket Kodak cameras had the autographic feature. The negative size is 6×9 cm or 2 1/4×3 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 brilliant. 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 help focusing the camera instead of guessing the distance.
