Kodak Flexo Kodak No. 2

The Flexo Kodak No. 2 was a 35mm camera produced by Kodak between 1899 and 1913, representing the company's early foray into this smaller format film. Designed as a simple, box-like camera for amateur photographers, it utilized the nascent 35mm cine film, typically cut into standard 35mm still frames for rollfilm loading. Characterized by its basic, functional construction aimed at hobbyists and casual users, the Flexo Kodak No. 2 offered an accessible entry point into smaller format photography before the rise of more sophisticated 35mm still cameras like the Leica in the 1920s. It was a product of Kodak's strategy to make photography increasingly convenient and affordable for the general public during the early 20th century.
