Kodak Junior 620 Analogue folding camera

Up for auction: a Kodak Junior 620, an antique folding camera.

It was produced for Europe in Germany by Kodak AG in Stuttgart in the 1930s. It differs from the American Six-Twenty. It was considered pocketable, and in fact, apart from its thickness, it has dimensions comparable to a modern mobile phone.

It presents in overall very good condition, with minimal signs of use and age; it has always belonged to the same family and has been used very little.

The lens is the original Kodak-Anastigmat 105mm, the maximum aperture is f/8.8. The negative format is 6x9 cm (note: on 6x9 format this focal length is roughly equivalent to about a 42mm on 135 film).

The central mechanical shutter has speeds of 1/75, 1/25, B and T, manual; the last two photographs are recent test shots where one can also see that the bellows have no light leaks.

It is equipped with the original leather case and an original metal spool. Regarding film, with some precautions you can use the common 120 format, with which 620 differs only in the spool sizes: Kodak introduced 620 film by modifying the base of 120 to allow the construction of thinner cameras.
