Revisiting the Vest Pocket Kodak Autographic camera
You’re probably wondering why the sudden rash or revisiting old cameras? Well just starting is the latest instalment of the Shitty Camera Challenge and I’m hoping that I can actually get around to using some of the vintage cameras that I’ve collected over the past year. Back in May I posted about one of my ‘filling in the gaps’ cameras, the Vest Pocket Kodak (VPK). The camera was in nice…

Using 120 film in 100-year-old folding cameras
I’ve had a number of vintage Kodak folding cameras for a while now, and back in November I added another that I’ve been after for a long time, the massive Kodak 3-A Folding Pocket camera, to the collection. (It still tickles me how a giant heavy camera like the 3-A could ever be considered as a ‘pocket’ camera.) The Kodak 3-A Folding Pocket camera Soon after receiving the 3-A I finally got my…
Out with the Kodak 3-A Folding Pocket camera: Some street art around Aveiro
My second outing with the Kodak 3-A Folding Pocket camera was just as much fun as the first test with this camera, but not as successful. From my expired film box in the cupboard I picked a roll of Lomography ISO 100 colour film, which expired in 2023. Loading the camera was easier than the first time, I roughly know what I’m doing now. I stopped winding when I came across the ‘start’ arrow and…
Filling the Gaps: The Kodak No. 3-A Folding Pocket Camera (Model C)
The Kodak 3-A Folding Camera has been on my ‘to have’ list for a while, to go alongside my other early twentieth century cameras, the Kodak 1-A Autographic and the diminutive Kodak Vest Pocket camera. The 3-A is anything but diminutive though, measuring 240 x 120 x 50 mm (folded) and coming in at a weight of over 1kg (1110g). This monster (my better half insists my vintage cameras are little…
Filling in the Gaps: The Vest Pocket Kodak Autographic camera
A few weeks ago I took delivery of the Polaroid Big Shot, an iconic instant camera from the 1970s, and I posted on social media that it was ‘probably the last camera I would ever buy’. Well of course it wasn’t and since then I’ve added several more cameras to my collection. However, now I’m picking cameras specifically to ‘plug the gaps’ in my little collection of photographic history, cameras…

Another Folding Camera: A slightly better condition Kodak 1A Autographic Jr, 12 April 2024
Just lately I’ve become fascinated by really vintage folding cameras, by which I mean cameras from the 1920s, if not earlier. My first entry into the world of folding cameras was my Frankencamera, a broken Ihagee Viktor V that I combined with a 1980s Polaroid back to use with Instax Wide film. While this was successful, it was still frustrating that I could only load one Instax Wide film at a…
