Kodak Tele-Ektralite 600 (1980–1982)

A compact 110 film point-and-shoot camera with a dual-focal-length Reomar lens and built-in flash, produced by Kodak in the early 1980s.

Overview

The Kodak Tele-Ektralite 600 is a 110 film point-and-shoot camera. Kodak made it in the United States from approximately 1980 to 1982. It was built for consumer snapshots. The Reomar lens switches between 22mm and 44mm, so you get two focal lengths in one compact body. Focus is fixed and exposure is automatic, which keeps operation simple for casual photographers. It runs on a single 9-volt alkaline battery and has a built-in electronic flash for low light. The body is black. Kodak marketed it as a portable, easy-to-use camera for everyday photography, at the height of the 110 cartridge format's popularity.
