KODAKNo.4 PANORAM CAMERA,MODEL ‘B’ C1900-24
MADE BY EASTMAN KODAK CO.ROCHESTER, N.Y., U.S.A.
A PANORAMIC ROLLFILM CAMERA DESIGNED TO TAKE 6 PANORAMIC EXPOSURES.LEATHER COVERED WOODEN BODY WITH A ‘SWING’ STYLE LENS THAT CAPTURED AN IMAGE AT 142 DEGREE ARC.
AN EARLY CAMERA OF PHOTOGRAPHIC INTEREST AND A UNIQUE LOOK.FILM IS NOT AVAILABLE (!) SO PERHAPS MORE OF AN ANTIQUE COLLECTABLE CAMERA.
HOWEVER, I BELIEVE 120 ROLLFILM MAY BE ADAPTED WITH SOME IMPROVISATION.IF DOING SO YOU WOULD OBTAIN LESS IMAGES THAN THE ORIGINAL FILM.EXPERIMENTATION REQUIRED. EARLY WOODEN 120 FILM SPOOLS WORK BETTER THAN THE PLASTIC TYPE.A METHOD MAY BE TO CUT A WOODEN SPOOL IN HALF AND FIX TO ANOTHER NORMAL SIZE SPOOL TO FIT THE LARGER HEIGHT OF THE ORIGINAL SPOOL (ONE INCLUDED)- JUST A SUGGESTION !
THE CAMERA IS SOLD AS SEEN, NOT WORKING, AS A COLLECTORS ITEM. NO RETURNS !
THE MECHANISM REQUIRES ATTENTION AS DOES THE LIGHT ‘BAFFLE’ SURROUNDING THE LENS.I HAVE READ THAT SOME CHAMOIS LEATHER IS SUITABLE, CUT TO SIZE. THE ORIGINAL BAFFLE HAS SOME SPLITS AS CAN BE SEEN IN PICTURES.THE LEATHER SIDE STRAP IS DETACHED AT ITS BASE.
THE WOODEN BODY AND COSMETICS ARE VERY GOOD.THE LENS APPEARS OK. CHROMEWORK EXCELLENT FOR A CAMERA PRODUCED C1920’s.
A SUPER OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE A RARE CAMERA, SUITABLE FOR RESORATION. WILL SUIT CAMERA COLLECTORS AND MUSEUMS !
