KODAK 8 Model 20 Camera
Title
KODAK 8 Model 20 Camera
Description
The first 8mm camera on the market as a challenge to the popular 9.5mm. Simple to operate with basic facilities it was designed to use 16mm film stock on a 25ft. spool exposing one side then the other. After processing the film was split and joined thus producing 50ft. of Standard 8 film. This was to remain the standard until the introduction of Super-8mm many years later. It has a f:3.5 lens with a ~16 aperture and is clockwork driven.
