Over the years, Kodak has covered a wide range of photographers &#8211; from absolute greenhorns to the very professional folk. As a youth I learned that Kodak even reserved selected items to be sold to their &#8216;professional&#8217; stores. At the time I had ordered chemistry through my local druggist. He informed me that certain things I wanted he could not order because his business was not a &#8216;professional&#8217; shop as defined by Kodak at the time.<\/p>\n<p>This movie camera ad is from American Cinematographer magazine in April of 1955. The camera, a Kodak K-100 appears to be beautifully and professionally made. The ad suggests it is for the professional (news) or advanced amateur (in competition with Bolex, perhaps).<\/p>\n<p>In any case, it is a fine instrument. My thanks goes out to my good friend (and fellow photo history enthusiast), George Dunbar. George is always pleased to share many of his discoveries with others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toronto.
