No Frills Kodak Camera Info On The Cheap

An inexpensive, no frills, quick reference guide for classic Kodak cameras is the “Collector's Guide to Kodak Cameras” by Joan McKeown and James McKeown. I highly recommend this paperback to anyone who collects Kodak cameras. It’s available for less than fifteen bucks online, and contains basic descriptions of each camera, black and white pictures, production dates, film type used, and the original price. Don’t pick this up if you want to know the current collector value of each camera, nor any in-depth information or detail about a specific camera. That is not the intention of this volume. Cameras are listed primarily by product line, such as Kodet Cameras, Brownie Cameras, Retina Cameras, along with some informative sections titled ‘Two New Films Which Didn’t Change The World’ and ‘The Birth of the Red Window’. It even covers Kodak’s short lived Instant Film products.
