Thx for review. Bought exactly The same today for about 10 dollar with leathercase. Will try it with film and see how it works. Greatings from Sweden.
hey, I know this is a older video, but is there a way you can show how to insert new film in Camera?
I found the same camera today. I also have the leather case. I work at a donation center for a foundation. A beautiful vintage device. 😁
Love mine
Thanks you! My one is in very good condition (the only problem is that the shutter doesnt always close properly). In my stylus Holder someone added a cable release. I Hope i'm gonna make some photos with it soon
How do you clean the viewfinders? I got one from my grandfather and you cant see crap through the viewfinders because they are foggy and faded
The front of the camera is held on by two tabs. Gently pry them with a flathead screwdriver, and the front panel will pop off. Then you have access to the mirrors.
This was really helpful. I bought one a couple years ago and wanted to run some film through it.
Thanks for this overview, it's the only video I can find on RUclips of this original model. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I thought this was the only camera taken into space in 1962 and the Hasselblads came later. Do you have a link to your source please? I'm interested to find out more.
Autographic film was actually someone else's invention whose name I can't recall this minute they bought it from him and then put it in their cameras
Such a detailed report
I can’t get my film rewind to come up to open the film box does anyone know what to do?
I inherited one from my aunt after she passed. It is a "No. 3A folding pocket kodak model b-5" S/N 26486" that was made in Toronto, Canada. I have been trying to figure out when it was made and which location in Toronto that it was made in? Any site that you can direct me to to answer my question? Thanx!
good day i have a one no.1 pocket kodak and i can´t out the bellows you can help me plis
i just found my great grandpa’s 1a and it’s working! what film do i need for it and where can i find that? :)
Hi Emilia! This camera used 116 film, which is no longer available (unless you can find it online and it's very expensive) so people have made adapters to use 120 film instead. There are many tutorials on how to use this method. Good luck! :)
What would be a good price for this model now?
Any videos on how to load this camera? How to set up ISO?
Stanley Kubrick - you may have heard of him, perhaps. As a young boy, this was the first camera he owned. Ah, yes - the tiny acorn from which grows the mighty oak! ☺
Mine won't open, any thoughts?
Just bought one the self timer lever is missing and the shutter is stuck. Any ideas to the fix the shutter? Thanks
I’ve just been given one by my grandmother. It was my grandfathers originally x
K
Ive had my 1914 1a for about 5 years nowand just now figured out that that little window dose open and that pen actually does something today was productive
I loved it ^^
Any tips on fixing a stick shutter
did you find a way to fix the sticky shutter? mine is also stuck
@@AmedeoMasia nope kinda just left it and trying to sell it
@@mynameis9389 thanks for answer 😊 May i ask if in yours also the auto shoot timer is not working correctly?
At 6.38 you put it back in, I can’t seem to do that w mine it doesn’t fit?
how weird! I have the exact same camera (passed down from a relative) however it doesn't have 1, 2, 3 and 4 apature settings, instead there's F-79, going from 16 to 45. Strange, I do believe it's the same model as the one shown in the vidoe as its identical in every other way. What could be the reason for this?
additionaly, my model has a string with coils inside attached to the front of the sutter? it has a little pressable thing on the top, and I have no idea what it's for
I have one of these and the bellows is so compressed I can't get it to open. Is there a safe way of freeing up the bellows?
Hello! Wich iso film shouId I use?as doesn’t have any iso set up. Im quite confused. Thanks :)
Always thought this was a beautiful jewel of a camera. This camera model was under serious consideration when I was trying to decide on my first 35 mm film camera many years ago. The fast f1.7 maximum aperture lens was a strong feature to me, as well as the generally simple operation and good build quality. I passed on it because I decided a 35 mm SLR was the way to go for me and I ended up with a Nikon FM, which I still have and dearly love and will not part with. My sister had a Yashica Electro 35 GSN and was very pleased with it..she may still have it. Who knows if I run across one of these in good shape may grab it just for fun. Yashica cameras have had a good reputation over the years.
Thank you! This is wonderful. I have the No. 3 Automatic Kodak special model a camera. I'm not entirely sure about the rarity or price of it seeing as it's been handed down throughout the years, it does have engraving of "1902" on it although a quick websearvh says it's made during 1914, a tad odd. :)
Quite a nice summary of this camera. I've watched a bunch of videos about it because I'm about to buy one soon, and although mostly all of them mentioned the shutter lock function, but only to lock it in an unpressed state so it won't get pressed or something in your bag but it's so useful to know that you can lock it when being pressed, that is great for the bulb mode indeed, thanks!
I'm pretty sure it is intended just to stop it from being accidentally depressed, as you said. While it could lock it down during bulb mode, the camera shake from engaging and disengaging it with an open shutter would be horrendous.
@@standandeliver8376 hey old comment haha, now I'm at my third camera since then haha. But the lock as I remember didn't work with bulb, it didn't keep the button pressed which is sad because I'd have loved to do some light painting with my husband, but you'd need an extra person to keep it pressed. Not sure about the shake though.
@@crazyhammie8864 Yes, I spotted it was over two years old just after I posted 😄. I've just bought the Yashica, but it doesn't work, so I'm in the process of doing one or two repairs. Glad to hear you're indulging in numerous (presumably) classic cameras!
ive just bought mine with original box, packaging, instructions and leather case. this is a great overview for someone looking to buy one! best thing is the selenium cell cameras don't need batteries just light
what was the price?
Huh mine also looks slightly different, it has a circular film advance knob, and a different shutter mechanism. Someone else also said there cadet was different. Was the design maybe changed at some point during production? Yours looks slightly more "refined" then my version. Anyway thanks for the cool video!
I have the exact same one! I have a circular knob on mine. I just got it 5 minutes ago at Value Village xD
Does yours say agfa or ansco on the front fascia?
my bellows is stuck. it won't slide out. I pull on silver nob and it won't move.
Hi Brian, try wiggling it gently to see if that will help. However, don't force it too hard or the bellows may rip if they're stuck together.
Thanks for your knowledge, I just ran across one at a thrift shop in decent condition for $9. Everything surprisingly works! I want to try some portraits with it soon.
You're welcome! Feel free to link some photos here when you do it!
Absolutely, thanks!
@@RunNGunPhotoso what were the results?
@@eltoro8143 Thanks for following up! I've actually moved twice in the last year, but it's here sitting on my desk and I have 2 rolls of Portra 400 I just bought for it. I should give it a try this weekend! Thanks for the reminder!
@@RunNGunPhoto nice, sounds good.
Anyone have a good idea of how many cranks per image? The 120 film numbers don’t match correctly with the window. 2 cranks? 2.5? Just wondering what works for everyone else
www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Kodak-130-to-120-Film-Spool-Adapter/252931340941?hash=item3ae3e1fa8d:g:uq8AAOSwX61ZE42j
Thanks so much. I am getting ready to load mine. Love your video. It was informative and well shot.
Amy Mckay have you used your camera yet? I loaded mine the other day but the numbers don’t match correctly with the window and was wondering how many cranks per image.
I have loaded it three times. The first time, I loaded the film underneath the little bars. Of course, the film would not advance correctly and I ruined that roll. The second time, a loaded it, shot it and then ruined it by taking my cell phone into the dark room. The third time, I ran a roll of Kodak film through it that had been in my desk drawer way too long. 🤬. So, I’m giving it one more try with Ilford delta 400. When I used Illford the first two times, the numbers did not match up exactly and they are difficult to see. If you are having trouble seeing the frame numbers, you can open that little window on the back when you wind it and have a general idea of where you are on the film. I hope this helps. And I hope my overuse of commas did not make my response difficult to read.🤣
Please let me know how it works out for you. Good luck. I would love to see any images that work out for you. I have Beautiful images from my Yashica 24 and My Ansco automatic reflex.

I have a No 1A Pocket Kodak and can't close it. Where is that little button that releases the camera to close it?
Hi Marji, you have to press on the two 45° angle struts (see video for demonstration)
I have a Kodak #1 pocket camera sitting on my kitchen table.
what battery replacement for this camera?
Hey Franky, there are lots of options when it comes to finding an alternative battery for the Electro. Check some out here: www.flickr.com/groups/44787261@N00/discuss/72157627643860874/
Do you need a battery or power source for this type of camera? Should I use 135 film for this camera and if I should what brand do you recommend?
No battery needed for this camera. If you're looking to process the film yourself, you can't go wrong with Kodak Tri-X 400 (black and white), if you're going to send it in to a lab, pretty much any C-41 process 35mm film will do.
When i look through my view finder i can only see 1 image instead of 2. Is my camera fine? Or there’s something wrong with it? TIA
The second image should only appear as a small yellow diamond shape in the center of the frame. If you don't see it, check if there's anything blocking the diamond shape opening on the front of the camera (located above the lens). If it's clear, then the mirror inside the rangefinder assembly may be misaligned.
Vintage Camera Lab ah okay. I see it now. Thanks for the help. Great review btw
glad to hear that you found it! you're very welcome.
The battery adapter is available here: www.yashica-guy.com/document/battery.html
Is this camera need battery to snap picture ?
Kaer popo no need , but battery control the shutter speed and light meter , makes it a lot easier to use
As Chiang Gong stated earlier, a battery is not 100% necessary but it's very difficult to effectively use this camera without one.
Great to see such a well produced presentation. I just bought one of these, but I noticed a guy on RUclips who is in the UK who does a review on the same camera, the UK version is similar but with a few differences. It has a different script on the fold out "Kodak" leg and his has a fold out viewfinder on the side of the camera as well as the viewfinder on the front of the bellows, plus a flap on the red window on the rear. Everything else is the same.
Cheers, David! Thank you for the kind words. I wonder if the differences you mentioned were specific to the UK version or if it was simply a later/earlier/higher end variant with slightly different components than my example.
Hi I have the same one as yours and live in the UK so different versions could be had worldwide I guess. I also watch the video just now that David Kelsey is talking about and I have a feeling it is more modern version than ours. The inside of the back has a Patent stamp doing from 1913 to 1925. The script on my leg is different to yours and the number is 409125. You did not mention the lever just behind the knurled distant setter and wonder what does it do. Thanks for a great video. Regards Vic.
should read.....the inside of my camera has a patent stamp dating from 1913...... Mine also has a spool with 120 stamped on the end.
Hi Victor! the tiny lever you're talking about is another kickstand which allows you to set the camera down on a flat surface in landscape orientation. Hope that clears things up for you!
Thank you, I should have seen the obvious!!
I have this camera to. My Father give it to me, and i used it for around 10 years before Digital Camera era begins...
Wonderful! These are great cameras, aren't they?
can you share some of the images, i’m curious to see how the film looks
Did they make different b2 cadets? Mine has a different knob and a different shutter mechanism, you push it down and it swings back up. Otherwise, it looks the same.
Hey Alex, it was not uncommon for manufacturers to take stuff from the "spare parts bin" and put it on lower end cameras like the B-2 Cadet so I'm not surprised to hear that your example is slightly different. (sorry about the late reply, I wasn't getting notifications)
Muss ein gutes Englischbuch sein. :-) @@vintagecameralab
if u need it mail me
Hey Shanthi. If I need what?
Funny. I use the shutter button lock to keep from accidentally pressing the shutter button when I'm walking around. It actually saved my camera once when it fell off my strap and landed on the button. All it did was force the button down and waste a frame instead of breaking it outright.
Wow, what a lucky break! Glad to hear that your Electro survived the fall.
Wow. Now I know where the Agfa Clack got pretty much all of its designs.
Camera manufacturers didn't (and still don't!) always have the budget to come up with new groundbreaking designs so you do see that a lot of models (box cameras in particular) share the same basic shape and/or physical features.
