Kodak in History
The first Kodak Camera is the first camera designed in Germany. Kodak began production of this camera in the early 1930s and this was when most of the equipment started to be obsolete. Kodak’s first consumer camera was the Model T, introduced by Peter Wylie of Detroit in February 1939. The Model T was a prototype at the time, but soon expanded to include much more. It wasn’t until 1939 that the company introduced an aluminum, ceramic and glass frame. It was soon adopted as the Canon 35mm film, followed in 1941 by new equipment, the E-40. It became the first professional photographer to capture live subjects. By 1941, Kodak produced its first large-format camera, the PX-70, which was an all-encompassing lens with a built-in, built-in stabilization system. Kodak also introduced the C&C (Continuous Digital Recording Systems) camera, which also had a camera element, and the M500 camera, which introduced a new, lower cost form factor. Each camera sold for about $800 to $1200 over the course of a year with many of it’s first models being produced before Kodak began to become a serious photographic collector. Kodak had already made significant changes in camera design during this period, but it was also beginning to be able to produce the first full scale picture cameras. In October 1942, the Japanese bombed Komeito Kodak Plant, a small manufacturing operation in Tachikawa Prefecture. The first large scale production-controlled, high quality model was created at the time, the R1. Kodak began producing models for the U.S. Army. Kodak also used an improved C4C lens in the Model T, so the model was able to produce 1st scale pictures over time. However, due to its design issues with high-imaging, compact bodies, the Model T was discontinued in 1974 but is still a popular model in Kodak film production. After this, Kodak began producing the Model K, although they weren’t able to duplicate the results of the original Model K. The model K also became a very popular consumer subject and the Model K-70 was one of the first commercial production models. After the Model K-70 had been discontinued, Kodak redesigned the front frame and developed the L-mount camera. The company was also interested in producing the C.2 camera when it was acquired by Nikon in May 1947, which Kodak wanted to duplicate the first camera. At the time Kodak was focused on producing the DSLR, which was supposed to give up any camera design shortcomings and instead focus on the small form factor. The Model K-70 featured a very small zoom lens (2 megapixels), which would have made for a very fast DSLR, but it also featured an extremely compact body with an easily removable film tube. Kodak wanted to develop a large format camera, and was therefore able to successfully capture large shots during the war, so as well as producing large lenses. The Model K produced a rather compact DSLR, but a small format type of camera
