This is a Colorsnap Model 2 camera made by Kodak Ltd in London between 1964 and 1967. It is effectively a 35mm version of the Kodak Bantam Colorsnap (see my other listings for one of these). This is the second version of this camera which started production when 35mm film became popular in the late 1950s. The camera is in near mint cosmetic condition and is in good working order. Cosmetic condition (to be read in conjunction with the photographs)The only defect I can find on this camera is a very slight ding on the top plate adjacent to the film counter. Otherwise the camera is in near mint condition and appears to be very little used.  Operational ConditionThe camera is fitted with a simple leaf shutter which is fully operational. The aperture and the focussing operate smoothly. The lens is a coated Kodak Anaston. The lens has a little dust, but appears to be free from fungus. Unusually, the shutter is cocked using a small catch on the rear of the camera. The back of the camera clips off smoothly on releasing the locking catch. The camera takes 35mm film. Dimensions are 12.5 x 8 x 6.5cm and the camera weighs around 440g.
The camera comes in its original ever ready case. The German made case is also in near mint condition and is high quality.
Overall this is an excellent example of this British made camera.  This camera has not been tested with film. Any camera of this age would probably benefit from a general mechanical service if you intend to use it. I check all lenses for fungus as best I can, but do not guarantee that any lens is entirely fungus free. I recommend having any lens professionally cleaned if you intend to use the camera. Due to the age of this camera it is being sold as seen without warranty.
