Folding Camera
When I bought this camera, I didn't know any details or history, but I liked its shape and appearance and wanted a medium format camera 4.5 x 6 cm, to try taking pictures with. I saw that it could be folded up, small and compact, and it looked convenient to carry around. It used 120 roll film, which is commonly sold, including black and white film, color film, and slide film. One roll can take 16 pictures, which is fun. It got bigger film than a 35 mm camera. The camera I got was not expensive, and it came with a leather case and a yellow filter, but it was in a worn condition according to its age. ...

Produced in 1937 and ended in 1948, this camera is the second model. This camera has a plain black leather front plate, different from the first model that designed with Art Deco lines on the front. The suffix of various Kodak cameras at that time, Six-16, meant that the camera used 616 roll film that had been reduced in size from 116 roll film but had the same size of film. Because the 616 roll film of the Six-16 Model was larger than the 620 roll film of the Six-20 Model, the camera was also larger. But in exchange, it produced larger photos. In that era, Contact Print was popular, which printed photos directly from the film, resulting in larger photos. It used the same film and could take 8 photos sized 2 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches. The price of this camera in 1937 was $9.00 each, which is $197.29 today. If converted to Thai baht, it would be approximately 6,850 baht.
The 616 film used with this camera is no longer available, but some people have made add-ons to modify it to use with the 120 film that we use today. This will give you a picture with the same width but reduced height, similar to a panorama. You can take 6 pictures, or maybe add another 7 pictures at the end. ...

I wanted this camera because of its appearance and because I liked the word KODAK on the hinge for setting up the camera, on the cover in front of the lens. It has a beautiful Art Deco style. This camera model was produced from 1926 - 1932. It was a folding camera, easy to carry, and used 120 roll film, which is commonly used today. It took pictures of about 6x9 cm. in size, with 8 pictures per roll. It was the last Kodak camera to use 120 roll film. After this, the roll film format would change from 120 to 620 and 116 to 616, which is a roll film format unique to Kodak.
Autographic: The camera has a slot at the back of the film that can be slid open to record data using the included stylus on the back of the film. The film used must be a type specifically for Autographic, which is no longer produced. The camera I got did not come with a stylus. ...

The ICA Ideal camera was manufactured or assembled in Dresden, Germany from (approximately) 1910 to 1926, the last year it was called ICA as it was merged with other holdings under the name Zeiss Ikon.
ICA Ideal Model "111" or another name is "Model A" is a small folding camera using 6.5x9 cm plate and 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 inch film pack. It is a camera that is in the era of transition from dry plate coated glass to clear plastic film coated with a photosensitive substance, both in sheet film pack and 120 film rolls that are still in use today. There are many types of lenses. Looking at the camera, it was originally designed to be used with dry plate glass and plastic film, called Sheet Film Pack. I tried to find additional equipment that allows it to be used with roll film, called Roll Film, so this camera can be used with many types of film. ...

In the 1920s Contessa-Nettel merged with the Zeiss Ikon group. The Cocarette series continued to be produced, as did the many other collapsible cameras that existed. These were medium-quality roll film cameras, bearing the Zeiss mark. From 1926 until 1929, the Cocarette cameras were given the model number '519', with variations such as 519/14, 519/2, 519/15, with the numbers after them indicating the various film sizes used.
Focusing is done using a button located next to the lens on the folding platform. Push it to move the lens unit forward or back. On advanced models, the lens can be moved vertically up and down. All cameras have a Brilliant Viewfinder that rotates horizontally and vertically. Some models have a built-in spirit level and some even have a wireframe viewfinder.
The Zeiss Ikon camera you see here is the 519/15 model. It uses 116 roll film, which is larger and was produced before the 120 roll film we use today. However, because the film was large, the camera had to be large as well, making it inconvenient to carry and use. Its popularity declined. Later, the production of 116 roll film was discontinued, and cameras that used 116 film had to be discontinued by default. ...
