Kodak Instamatic 25 Camera

The Kodak Instamatic 25 Camera is a viewfinder camera for No.126 “Kodapak” film cartridges.

The camera has a two-speed shutter. Its speed selector can be shifted from the sun symbol (1/90 sec.) to the half-sun symbol (1/40 sec.) .

The Kodak 1:11/43mm lens has fixed focusing and fixed aperture.

The viewfinder is of reverse Galilean type.

The flash shoe is for Kodalux bulb flashes. The camera weighs only 150 g.

Kodak must have had hundreds of trade names assigned to products that began with the letters “K-O-D-A,” and this package illustrates a couple. The Kodapak system was branding for film that came pre-packaged in cartridges that were designed to fit into the Instamatic camera line.

Inside the package was the traditional foil-sealed pouch and a set of instructions.

The pouch held the cartridge. This one had film for 12 exposures of Kodacolor (print) film.

The inverse side is where the emulsion would be exposed.
