Kodak Folding n2 Analogue camera

Up for auction, this fascinating Kodak No. 2 Folding Cartridge Hawk-Eye Model B, a bellows camera produced by the Eastman Kodak Company of Rochester, USA, between 1926 and 1933. It is a classic medium-format model that uses standard 120 film to produce generous 6x9 cm negatives, a feature that still makes it usable by enthusiasts after any necessary servicing.

The specimen is fitted with a central shutter Kodex No. 0 with simplified exposure times (25, 50, b and t) and an anastigmatic or meniscus lens (depending on the specific variant, here marked Eastman Kodak Co.) on a black bakelite or painted metal front. The camera body is covered in black embossed imitation leather, typical of the era’s style, and features the classic black bellows which, from the photos, appears to be intact.


The camera presents itself in good vintage aesthetic condition, with signs of wear compatible with its nearly hundred-year history. It is a perfect item for collectors of American 'folding' cameras or as a decorative piece thanks to its unmistakable design, with the black enamel extension scissors and the metal details.
