Description from the seller
Kodak Startech for sale, a special camera produced by Kodak in 1959, designed specifically for close-up (macro) photography in medical, dental, and industrial settings. Based on the body of the popular “Brownie Starflash,” this version stands out for its beige/cream color and for its specialized lens and diaphragm system.
The camera uses 127-format film (4x4 cm) and has only two extremely stopped-down diaphragm settings to maximize depth of field: f/27 (green color code) and f/64 (red color code). These correspond to two close focusing ranges: 10-16 inches (25-40 cm) for the green and 4-8 inches (10-20 cm) for the red. The built-in M2 bulb flash is essential for shooting with such stopped-down apertures; it is protected by a transparent safety screen.
The unit for sale is accompanied by an interesting external power supply, either handmade or industrial (“black box” in Bakelite or plastic) labeled “220 VAC,” which probably served to power the flash from a fixed mains connection for professional studio/clinic use, bypassing the batteries. A piece of scientific photography history. Included are the Kodak Startech camera and the power supply as shown in the images.
