[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Buzz, that is correct. You will notice there were not too many F2.8 or
faster lenses. The prime customer for this camera would make 3.5X3.5
prints or maybe project a two foot slide. The engineering for these
cameras was just about perfect for the intended customer. You will
remember that color prints really came into play with the introduction
of this film format, one of the few times Kodak introduced a new format
for all the right reasons.

If I remember correctly, wasn't the problem with Instamatic cameras that
there was no pressure plate to establish an accurate film plane for good
focus, even in the "high-end" models?
