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
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
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.
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. 😁
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. :)
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’ve just been given one by my grandmother. It was my grandfathers originally x

Love mine
I loved it ^^
At 6.38 you put it back in, I can’t seem to do that w mine it doesn’t fit?
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?
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!!
Hello! Wich iso film shouId I use?as doesn’t have any iso set up. Im quite confused. Thanks :)
Mine won't open, any thoughts?
I have a Kodak #1 pocket camera sitting on my kitchen table.
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
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
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! :)
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)
where could I get film for this. mine takes 116 film
Hi Giovanny, sorry for the late reply! I wasn't getting notifications when comments were being left. I know of two ways you can use your 116 camera: either wind 120 film onto empty 116 spools or get an adapter set that will allow you to use standard 120 film in your camera (the adapters make 120 spools as tall as 116 spools). Here's an eBay link if you're having trouble finding the 120-to-116 adapters and/or empty 116 spools: www.ebay.com/sch/items/?_nkw=116+spool&_sacat=&_ex_kw=&_mPrRngCbx=1&_udlo=&_udhi=&_sop=12&_fpos=&_fspt=1&_sadis=&LH_CAds=&rmvSB=true
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.
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
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
