Kodak Target Hawk-Eye Junior No.2 (colored)

The Kodak Target Hawk-Eye Junior No.2 (colored) represents a basic entry-level 35mm camera produced during a brief period in 1932-1933. Part of Kodak's Target series aimed at the lower end of the market, it utilized the emerging 135 film cassette format to offer a more affordable alternative to higher-end miniature cameras. Its design was characterized by simplicity, likely featuring a fixed-focus or very rudimentary focusing lens, a basic shutter mechanism, and straightforward controls. Constructed primarily from bakelite or other early plastics with minimal metal components, it prioritized accessibility and cost-effectiveness over advanced features or robust construction, embodying the Kodak philosophy of making snapshot photography straightforward for the masses during the early 1930s.
