Eastman Kodak
No.1 Panoram
One of the more interesting Kodaks, first produced in 1900, these cameras capture a 112 degree field-of-view with a swinging lens. The #1 was designed to produce 2¼x7 negatives on type 105 film--not 120, one of the more popular myths in collecting lore. However, with a little work they can easily be adapted for 120 and are fun to use. Occasionally seen at camera shows, but often in very rough condition.
