Kodak, the Pioneer of the Everyday Photographer, from a $1.00 Brownie, to perhaps some of the most innovative and technologically advanced cameras during the time when Film Cameras ruled, and everyone had a snapshot camera in their pocket.
The Medalist, just one that comes to mind, or the Bantam. Another camera that set the stage and the bar high.
Here is a Kodak Signet 35.
Ultimately the very best out of the Signet lineup, and the last to use an Ektar lens. Sadly Kodak stopped using their Uber high quality Ektar lens in favour of the less expensive Ektanar lens. It was still high-quality, but a Pro-quality lens like the Ektar it was not.
Built in Rochester, New York for 7 years running (1951 to 1958) it was a decently well selling camera and does still pop up from time to time on Ebay.
Super sharp optics, easy to use, even in frigid weather with gloves on, but the shutter... sadly is the biggest disappointment of this camera.
