Kodak No.2C Junior

The Kodak No.2C Junior is a straightforward folding camera representing Kodak's early foray into the 35mm format (135 film), produced between 1924 and 1932. Designed as a user-friendly, compact option for amateur photographers, it features a simple construction with a folding bellows, typically mounted on a leatherette-covered body. Its basic meniscus lens and simple shutter prioritize ease of use and affordability over optical precision or complex controls, making it accessible for casual snapshots during the 1920s and early 1930s. The camera embodies Kodak's strategy of making photography simple and widespread, utilizing the then-emerging 35mm cartridge film format within a conventional box folding design.
