Kodak 1A - a photo on Flickriver

Kodak 1A

            Kodak 1A series 3 bought by my father in the 1920’s. I have several thousand negatives taken with it mainly during the 30’s. The camera was eventually given to me and I used it until the film became impossible to find in the 1970’s. I still have it and it is in perfect working order. I actually used this camera to make my first photograph when I as 4 years old (with a bit of help from Mum).
The Zeiss Tessar / Compur shutter are probably not original but I think they must have been fitted early in the cameras life. The lens serial number is for 1930 manufacture.
This camera and a collection of prints made from the negatives was the subject of an exhibition entitled “Father, Son and Folding Camera” held at the Camera Club in London in 2009.
I will post some of it here over the next few months.
Update July 2010: I have made some addaptors so I can load 120 roll film and I have used the camera for the first time in thirty years. It still takes good pictures.
I can not hold the film flat and the frame spacing is a bit hit and miss but it is good enough.
