Canada

Kodak Canada was founded by Eastman Kodak in 1899 in a Toronto shop where employees cut sheet film and fitted lenses on cameras to support the growing potential for a photographic market in Canada. As Canadian interest in photography grew, the company expanded across the country throughout the 20th century to produce in all aspects of photography including still and movie cameras, film, x-ray film, photocopy paper, and photographic chemicals under many popular names including Brownie, Kodacolor, Carousel, and Supermatic.

Fonction

To record still images on a photographic roll film.

Technique

A solid body eye level rollfilm that produced 28 X 48mm images on 828 film with a Kodalinear f/8 lens (Coe, 14). The Bantam F8 provided a larger alternative to the 24 x 36mm images of standard 35 mm film (McKeown, 97). The 828 film "took 8 exposures 28mm wide on 35mm wide film strip. The new film made better use of the film area by using a single perforation on one edge to mark each frame" (McKeown, 97). The Bantam F8 used a compact Bakelite snapshot camera with a single speed shutter, the square lens housing retracts flush with the body, a feature seen re-introduced many years later on (Ref.3)).
