“ In other words, every roll of film put into the film tank, where the simple directions are implicitly followed, will come out developed as well, or better, than that roll of film could be developed in the dark room by the most experienced photographer. And it is very simple, it eliminates the dark room entirely, developing the film in broad daylight, and is so compact as to be easily carried and used anywhere. ”

“ Even in the Kodak [Pg 4] advertising matter as much space is given up to telling people how to make pictures as in telling them why they should buy Kodak goods. Booklets in large editions, giving instructions in practically every phase of amateur photography have been and still are distributed without charge. Photography has not merely been made simpler, it has been explained to all who are interested. ”

“ At the same time it will be interesting and its delightful illustrations will show the beginner new possibilities in amateur photography. This little magazine is but a part of the Kodak Service. To sell a camera and then turn the customer adrift has never been a part of the Kodak plan. Along with our improvements in apparatus and materials, we have always endeavored also to improve the Kodak Service. "Kodakery" will, we believe, prove the means of keeping us more closely than ever in touch with our customers. ”

“ A fine anastigmat lens, made expressly for hand camera work, a high speed, accurate shutter, a complete operating equipment, and the best materials procurable, richly finished—these, moulded together by the most expert camera workmen in the world, leave nothing to be desired by the user, whether he be beginner or expert. ”

“ The regular R. R. and meniscus lenses used on Kodak and Brownie Cameras have always been the best lenses of their respective types that could be secured. These lenses are perfectly adapted to everyday amateur photography, producing pictures under normal light conditions that leave nothing to be desired by the average amateur.
For those, however, who wish even greater efficiency and capabilities, we supply the anastigmat lens equipments. ”

“ The No. 2 is a very dainty little camera which will slip readily into an ordinary pocket, and make excellent pictures the all-by-daylight-way. It is fitted with our Pocket Automatic shutter working for time, bulb and snap-shot exposures, in which is mounted an excellent meniscus lens. Fitted with Kodak Portrait Attachment, this becomes a good camera for home portraiture, and the negatives which it makes will yield excellent 5 × 7 enlargements by use of the Brownie Enlarging Camera.
The camera is carefully finished throughout, it has imitation leather covering and nickeled fittings. ”

“ Upon opening the camera the front springs automatically into position, ready at once for making pictures of objects at any distance. A reversible finder makes composition easy, and slight pressure of the shutter lever makes the exposure.
When closed the bed folds over front and bellows, concealing all adjustments, and the camera can then be very conveniently carried in any coat pocket. The camera is made of aluminum, with best seal grain leather covering and has nickel fittings. They differ only in the size of the pictures they make. ”

“ Even a youngster can make first-rate enlargements with a Brownie Enlarging Camera. It's just as easy as printing on Velox paper. In fact the two processes are very much the same, excepting that in printing, the negative and paper are in close contact, while in enlarging, the paper is at some distance from the negative, with a lens in between. ”

“ In enlarging with the Brownie or Vest Pocket Kodak Enlarging Camera, the exposure may be made by daylight, but to accommodate those who wish to do their enlarging at night or who prefer to use artificial light at all times we have devised the Brownie Enlarging Camera Illuminator, which assures the user a uniformly strong, even light, day or night. ”

“ The whole outfit possesses a quality and richness that will appeal to the most fastidious.
The Vest Pocket Kodak with any equipment is always ready for action. It is only necessary to pull out the front to its full extent, and the camera is in focus for objects at any distance. The shutter is automatic, and a convenient reversible finder, for composing the view in either horizontal or vertical position, is provided.

Another feature is the extreme simplicity in loading—nothing trappy or fussy about it. ”

“ The camera body is made of aluminum, producing a very light, yet strong and durable, instrument. The finish and appointments are of the richest. The covering is genuine Persian Morocco, the bellows is of black selected leather, and these in connection with the highly nickeled fittings and dull black enameled shutter add that look of quality that is in harmony with its genuine efficiency and worth. ”

“ This model will accommodate the regular twelve exposure Kodak N. C. Film cartridges, and thus offers the daylight-all-the-way feature of all Kodaks.
The shutter is the Kodak Ball Bearing with cable release, which works not only for bulb and time exposures, but has variable indicated speeds of 1/25, 1/50 and 1/100 second. The leaves, opening in the shape of a star, admit the greatest possible amount of light, for a between-the-lens shutter, at each exposure.
The camera is furnished with either meniscus achromatic or rapid rectilinear lens. ”

“ The shutter is of the Kodak Ball Bearing type.
The camera as a whole makes a compact, inexpensive outfit, considering its capabilities, and one which, though suitable for the most serious work, will slip readily into the pocket, and is so simple that it may be effectively handled by the beginner. ”

“ Every side of Amateur Photography is treated in this little book. The Lens, the Camera, Composition, Exposure, Developing and Printing are all handled in a most helpful and simple manner. Flash Light and High Speed work are described in detail. ”

“ The Kodak Film Tank consists of a winding box, a light-proof apron, and a heavily nickeled brass solution cup with cover. In the Brownie Film Tank, however, no cover is necessary as the film roll itself is turned. All articles can be packed in the box, making the entire outfit self-contained. ”

“ To combine in one instrument every feature that could add to practical efficiency and yet retain the pocket Kodak convenience and simplicity was the work that we set for ourselves in designing the 3A Special Kodak. In no respect did we fall short of that work. In this camera no essential to good picture making is omitted, yet it has no unnecessary "contraptions" to annoy and befog the beginner. It is recognized as the highest type of hand camera for the amateur—skilled or unskilled.
The 3A Special Kodak is equipped with the Zeiss Kodak Anastigmat lens, f. ”

“ And as plates must be unloaded in a dark room, the plate tank cannot offer the advantage of daylight quite all the way, but it takes only a few moments in the dark room to load this tank, after which it may be brought out into any light for development. ”

“ The Kodak box No. 2 contains everything for picture making by the daylight method. No dark room is necessary, and even the beginner can get good results by following the simple, explicit directions contained in the instruction book. ”

“ Those who wish to develop more than one roll at a time can do so without purchasing extra tanks complete, by securing duplicating outfits as listed below.

No. 2 Brownie Developing Box
Offering the same assurance of perfectly developed film as the Kodak Film Tank, the Brownie Developing Box is a modified form of the same, so simple to use that any boy or girl can readily understand and operate it. ”

“ It has in fact come to be recognized as the standard in hand cameras, and every suitable improvement made, or new idea evolved in the years in which it has been on the market, has been incorporated in its construction. ”

“ The cameras are equipped with rising and sliding front—a great convenience in architectural and many forms of landscape photography, and an automatic focusing lock is provided so that either can quickly be brought to focus at any-distance. ”

“ The film is then unrolled by turning the crank, when the box is rocked on its standard for six minutes. The developer is then poured off and box filled with water to wash out developer, after which film is removed and fixed in daylight.
This is an excellent means, for those who have No. 1 or No. 2 Brownie Cameras, of developing their films without the need of skill or experience.

Eastman Plate Tank
What the film tank has done for films, the plate tank does for plates. ”

“ Each is fitted with the Zeiss Kodak Anastigmat lens working at a maximum opening of f. 6.3, and with the Compound shutter attaining a speed of 1/250 second. The fast lenses give the Specials a great advantage over the ordinary camera in dull lights, and in combination with the Compound shutter, make them second only to cameras having focal plane shutters for photographing rapidly moving objects.
They have rising and sliding fronts, reversible finders, rack and pinion for focusing, spirit levels, in fact every useful convenience that can be put into a hand camera. The No. ”

“ For it enables anyone who has electricity in his house, to show sharp, well-illuminated lantern slide projections without difficulty and at small expense.
The Kodiopticon is substantially made, and operated with an ordinary Mazda electric lamp, at a distance of 10 feet from the sheet, will project images of about 36 inches. A larger image may be secured by setting the Kodiopticon a greater distance away, but the greater the distance the less the illumination. ”
