KODAK Flash Bantam
A Compact Fine Picture Taker
 |
Eastman Kodak 828 film Compact camera. The 828 film with backing paper can take 8 exposures 28x40mm(1 1/8 x 1 1/2in) for full frame. There is also a famous Bantam Special Camera for this size, but it is expensive today, in spite of no film being supplied now. The Flash Bantam is a simple mechanical camera though the lens equipped is a top grade coated 4 element 3 group Anastar F4.5 48mm. It is smaller than any Kodak 35mm cameras of those years. The exposures size is 30% bigger than a 35mm camera. Simple, compact, but it is a fine picture taker. |
