What is it? Tourist folding 6x9 perhaps?

Duh, I never bothered reading your message header!

<p>The model is holding it like a digicam, wondering where the LCD screen on the back is.<br>

Yes, the camera is a Kodak Tourist, folding 620 rollfilm camera taking 6x9cm photos. The particular one in the picture is a low-end one with cheap lens and shutter.</p>

<p>Only if she's extremely near sighted. Looks more to me like she's lowering it after framing with her left eye and her right finger is actually near the shutter. </p>

<p>It's a Tourist II (with the long plastic top plate. I always wondered if Kodak intended on making a version with a rangefinder in that space.) Looks like it has the fixed focus plastic f/12.5 Kodet lens which would mean shutter speeds of B, T, 1/25 and 1/50. (Tourists were also made with up to f/4.5 4-element lenses and 1/800 shutters.)</p>

<p>Funny how often classic cameras feature in these sort of pictures, must mean that we are really cool!</p>

<p>We are not cool ((, our stuff is xD. Cute models just lining up to pose with cool cameras. We should start a thread sexiest camera ever. I bet that it would be a German prewar folder. </p>

The people who shoot this kind of stuff use they Rebel's I guess!

IT'S hard for me to choose.. the model or th camera... I'm a nostalgic guy!
