1915 Kodak Autographic 1A Junior

[Raymond Lin]

Walked by LCE today and saw it at the window....comes with original leather case, manual and the shutter release. Dated 1915 on the camera.

It is still functional but bought it as more a display piece....cost...£30!

And it will also take a very good photo.

Very nice but you will have to run at least one film through it ! I doubt we will be looking at a Canon DSLR in 100 plus years .

Unfortunately, you cannot buy Autograph film anymore. The 1A used 116 film which is wider than 120 film.

Terrific. Love it, I’m a firm Kodak loyalist but have a penchant for the digital ones, namely the DCS Pro series.

A simple adaption can be made using a 120 take up spool and a rawlplug.

Afterwards one can use standard 120 film .

The caveat is having to compose for the smaller film size when viewing the image in in the viewer .
A minor detail really.

Like most of these cameras there is always a work around a quick look online and you will see 120 roll film can be used !

Sorry I think I made my post just as you were doing yours Asha !

It's a thing of beauty.

The film is narrower so will not line up well with the 116 film gate - and the image size is longer by 20 mm so the frame numbers on the backing paper will be useless - but, yes, it can be done.

That's a lovely piece of kit. A good discovery - especially for the price.

My daughter bought me one from a charity shop and somewhere on here I posted about using it. I made a film gate for 120 out of cardboard but it did leave some scratches on the emulsion. I got some reasonable shots from it although there was a slight light leak

Lovely condition and a bargain at that price.

I have one myself (turns out it's a 1A Autographic but not a Junior) though it's a shelf queen right now. It will get some use, just a few other projects to take care of first.

I'll likely get these when the time comes.

I've bought products directly from the makers (Camerahack in Italy) and would highly recommend both them and their products.
