Description

The listing, Kodak Bantam Camera has ended.

Majorly cool and old compact camera. Had this camera for a couple years now and everything on it works perfectly! Would be great for a collector or anyone that modifies old cameras for new film. I sadly do have to charge for shipping this time but it's only $5 for a small flat rate shipping box.
* I only except Paypal for shipping payment
* If GIN is used, shipping is free.

Here is some info I found about the camera.

*The Kodak Bantam is a folding camera using Kodak's 828 film format (35mm film with only 1 perforation per image). It was a very compact camera, designed by the famous Walter Dorwin Teague. The basic model had a 1:12.5 Doublet lens and a single speed shutter. It appeared in 1935, together with another model that had a 1:6.3 lens and a rigid finder. Most Bantams were strut folders, but the F.8 model of 1938 had a rectangular pull-out lens tube instead. The luxurious Bantam Special was launched in 1936, and some other models appeared in 1938. Optical replacement finders were available for the models with rigid or metal frame finder. The Flash Bantam appeared in 1947. The Bantam RF of Arthur H Crapsey was added in 1953, not as new folder but as compact rigid body model for the advanced fan of the 28×40mm frame format

I don't know personally how to do it but I have heard of people doing it. Maybe you could google how to do it. Thanks for your question.

OK, so I have decided that if the GIN is used I will ship for free.

1000 and I'll pay for the shipping

I'm sorry diamonaire but 1000 is way too low of credits for the item. I thank you for asking and still hope to see you bidding.
