Kodak Premo Folding No.8

The Premo Folding No.8 represents Kodak's strategy to offer affordable snapshot cameras to the amateur market during the early 20th century, likely produced around the 1910s-1920s. As a folding camera, it features a bellows extending to reveal the lens and shutter, allowing for compactness when not in use. Typically taking roll film in medium formats like 120 or 116, it embodies Kodak's mission to simplify photography for the masses. Constructed with materials common for the era, such as leather covering and metal body parts, its design prioritizes functionality and portability over elaborate features, reflecting its positioning as a practical tool rather than a sophisticated instrument.
