Kodak Duaflex II


Another 'junk store' find, this Kodak 'pseudo-Twin Lens Reflex' needed
to be stripped down and cleaned to make it presentable. Manufactured
1950-54 in many versions I to IV, this model II seems to be a 'top of
the line' unit - it has a focusing lens 3.5ft to Infinity, and three apertures for
'hazy' to 'bright' sun. Although it has a sophisticated look, it is really no
more than a box camera with a very bright and usable reflex mirror for
viewing. Taking 620 size film, it produces 6cmx6cm negatives. I look
forward to making some images on a re-spooled roll of 120 size film.


The camera is quite small - just 4" tall x3"x3" (10cmx8cmx8cm)
and 6" tall (16cm) when the viewing hood is raised.

Seeing this little treasure reminded me to haul out my old DelMonta.
I felt insipired to search for it, and found it still has an un-exposed Kodak Tri-X Pan film in the little hideaway slot !
The DelMonta is still in it's leather, velvet lined case, so, when I get around to it, perhaps I should take its picture.
Oh - and there is a film loaded !! What a laugh.
