Kodak Super Six-20

Kodak · USA · 1938–1944 (6 years) · 135 film

Produced by Kodak from 1938 until 1944, the Super Six-20 represents a typical mid-range 35mm camera aimed at the amateur photographer during a period of transition and wartime constraints. It utilized the then-common 620 film format, offering a convenient roll film solution for smaller negatives. Designed as a straightforward fixed-lens viewfinder camera, it likely featured basic controls for shutter speed and aperture, prioritizing ease of use over technical sophistication or innovation. Its production lifespan was significantly shortened by US involvement in World War II, reflecting the broader industry shift towards military manufacturing during that era. As a product of Kodak, a dominant force in popular photography, the Super Six-20 served as a practical tool for everyday snapshot makers rather than a landmark design.
