all photos copyright Joseph Greco
Maker: Eastman Kodak U.S.A.
Years: 1914-27
Film: 116 roll film 2.5 x 4.25 in.

This camera had the first "data back" and allowed the photographer to add written information on the film at the time of exposure. It consisted of a tissue-like carbon paper sandwiched between the film and the paper backing. Text was entered through a hinged door on back using a metal stylus, and would appear in the margin of the processed print.
* Old American-made lenses are marked in the Uniform System (US) which was established by Britain’s Royal Photographic Society in 1881. US aperture range of 4-128 would be equivalent to the modern f/stop system of f/8-f/45.
