Kodak No.3 (c. 1916)
A folding camera using 118 film, made by Eastman Kodak Co., with a viewfinder and leather body
Overview
The Kodak No.3, specifically the Autographic No.3 Model H, is a folding camera made around 1916 by Eastman Kodak Co. It has a leather-covered body and red bellows. It uses 118 film, a format discontinued in 1961. It belongs to a family that includes the No.3-A and the No.3 Model AB, and some versions are described as "luxury edition." The viewfinder gives a general idea of the framing and nothing more. There are no precise framing aids, so you have to guess how the image will be cropped.

Design
The Kodak Autographic No.3 Model H folds up, with red bellows and a leather-covered body. The lens is a Kodak Ball Bearing Kodamatic, patented in 1909. The viewfinder shows general framing but lacks precision, so composing an accurate shot is hard.
