A tribute to photography’s evolution, featuring two iconic cameras—one vintage, one modern. As Flickr turns 21, this shot represents the journey of visual storytelling, from classic film photography to contemporary digital perspectives. A reminder that the camera is just a tool, but vision is timeless.

One of the less common “scout” cameras, with graphics designed by Walter Dorwin Teague. Based on the Vest Pocket Kodak Model B, the Camp Fire Girls Kodak was produced from 1931-34, and used 127 film.
...well, I think you all knew that anyway! This shot contains all my cameras....I should get out more!
Here we are ! It's been 2 years since I wander the world with my film camera family ! I love it so much <3
Thank you again for your support, it means a lot to me :)

Double exposure in An in-camera double exposure where my nephew’s profile blends with his own camera, a quiet portrait of the moment when vision and intention begin to shape an identity, suspended between observation and creation.camera
this camera had a stuck shutter when i got it. following some info i found online i was able to successfully remove the lens elements and clean up the shutter with alcohol.....now she works beautifully!
The Contessa 35 folding camera was manufactured from 1950 to 1955 by Zeiss in Stuttgart, Germany. It featured a quality 45mm f/2.8 Zeiss-Opton Tessar coated 4-element lens. The camera was a direct competitor to the Kodak Retina cameras of the time. The contessa was expensive and featured a winding mechanism that used the film's sprocket holes rolling past sprockets to release the double exposure protection. This design was not optimum, especially with today's thinner film bases.
I shot a roll through it after doing a CLA. I can understand why the Retina cameras were more sucessful, and it wasn't just distribution and Kodak's marketing and brand familiarity.
The Retinas were advanced in many ways, film advance, shutter release, controls and feel. The Contessa feels like an older camera in so many ways. Focus is done by rotating a thin focusing ring that is hard to wotk with protrusions getting in the way. After advancing the film, you need to move a lever to charge the shutter independently. The shutter release is on the front of the camera, and you need to search for it until you are quite familiar with the camera. Modern cameras, including the Retinas have the shutter release where your index finger will naturally feel for it!. The other problem with a shutter release on the front of a camera is that there is a greater chance you will move the camera when pressing it.
Having said all that, the camera is cute with the rangefinder prism elements on the front. It folds flat and fits in your pocket. It can be a good shooter, if you want a real vintage feel.
Two heavy weights from the good ole days from Minolta. Both heavy, solid metal. Really heavy if you carry them around all day to shoot with.
IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE
Eus aquí una càmera que mereix la seva existencia com a meravella del diseny industrial, independentment de les seves capacitats fotogràfiques. La Kodak Bantam Special està considerada una de les càmeres més boniques mai fabricades, i amb raó.
Fou disenyada per Walter Dorbin Teague, i fabricada entre 1936 i 1948. Es tota una icona del art deco de mitjans del s. XX. Tot i que no ho aparenti, és una càmera força petita, i això es deu al seu format inusual, el que encara la fa més extranya de fer servir. Om pensaria que es tracta d'una càmera de 35mm o fins i tot del format 127, però no, es tracta del molt poc usual format 828.
Kodak creà el format 828 com a manera d'aprofitar més be la pel·licula de 35mm. Com aquesta tenia el seu origen en el cinema, els forats dels laterals prenen bona part de la superficie de emulsió util. Pertant, el format 828 fa servir pel·licula de 35mm però sense perforacions, permetent imatges més grans. Però alhora empra paper protector, com al format 120 i 127 i només permet 8 imatges per rodet. Tot plegat dona càmeres petites i de bona resolució optica (teoricament) però amb poques imatges per rodet.
El format 828 mai va tenir exit i es deixà de fabricar al 1985, pel que semblaria dificil fer servir aquestes càmeres. Pero només amb una mica de pel·licula de 35mm enganxada a un paper dorsal de 120 (convenientment retallat de mida, tenir-ne un autentic de 828 com a model ajuda molt) és força facil donar nova vida a aquestes càmeres.
Aquesta Bantam Special en concret sembla fabricada el 1938-39 (pel nº de serie del obturador Compur Rapid), i va equipada amb un objectiu Kodak Anastigmat Ektar f2 / 45mm de gran qualitat. Tota ella funciona molt be, tant l'obturador com el telemetre.

=====================
Here is a camera that deserves its existence as a marvel of industrial design, regardless of its photographic capabilities. The Kodak Bantam Special is considered one of the most beautiful cameras ever made, and rightly so.
It was designed by Walter Dorbin Teague, and made between 1936 and 1948. It is an icon of art deco of the mid-XX Century. While it doesn’t look like it, it’s a pretty small camera, and that’s due to its unusual format, which makes it even weirder to use. One would think that this is a 35mm camera or even a 127 format, but this one uses the very unusual 828 format.
Kodak created the 828 format as a way to make the most of 35mm film. As this had its origin in the cinema, the sprocket holes in the sides take up much of the useful emulsion surface. Therefore, the 828 format uses 35mm film but without perforations, allowing larger images. But at the same time it uses protective paper, as in the 120 and 127 format and only allows 8 images per roll. All this gives small cameras with good optical resolution (theoretically) but with few images per reel.
The 828 format was never successful and was discontinued in 1985, so it would seem difficult to use these cameras. But with just a little 35mm film joined to a 120 backing paper (conveniently cut to size, having an authentic 828 as a model helps a lot) it’s pretty easy to give new life to these cameras.
This particular Bantam Special seems to have been manufactured in 1938-39 (for the serial number of the Compur Rapid shutter), and is equipped with a high quality Kodak Anastigmat Ektar f2 / 45mm lens. It all works very well, both the shutter and the rangefinder.
