Shutter speed on Kodak Bantam with Anastigmat f/6.3

[ralf_j.]

Hi -

 

What is the shutterspeed on this unit> I am guessing 1/50 but am not sure. Are

there any manuals for this on line? I did search but the only one I could find

was for flash bantam which is totally a different camera other than the film

format.

 

Thanks

Hello Ralf,<br><br>

 

I was just given this same camera and have been looking for similar information. I know nothing about the camera, and have been searching on line but have found no instructions and few details. Have you yet found any more information about it? <br><br>

 

Do you have the earliest version, with the rigid viewfinder, or the next one with a flip-up viewfinder? According to <a href="http://kodak.3106.net/index.php?p=209&cam=1286"><b>this site</b></a>, the early was made 1935-37 and the later 1938-47. (Mine is the early type.)<br><br>

 

 

 

I'm going to take mine into a local shop that deals with some older cameras and will reply here again if I do learn more.
