1947 ad for an American TLR made by Kodak
Toronto. In its hey day, Kodak made a variety of camera formats. One was a twin lens reflex design competing in a market held by Rollei at the high and medium end.
Like its German competitor, this TLR captured photos in the familiar square format, but on 620 rather than 120 roll film. Not as well designed as the Rollei, it was a ‘made in America’ competitor.
Thanks once again to our good friend and fellow photographic historian, George Dunbar, for sharing this bit of post war history with us.
Please note: if you want one for your collection, visit one of our events. The auction next month may be a source for this and other user and collector cameras and other gear. Check it out.
