Bantam

The Bantam is a cute little camera. It is popular with collectors due to it's small size and overall cuteness. It has a strut supported front standard and a bellows. It takes 828 film and has a green (instead of red) window on the back for frame counting. It has a Kodak Anastigmat Special f4.5 48mm lens. There are shutter speeds of: T B 25 50 100 and 200 and the aperture goes from f4.5 to f16. The shutter must be cocked with the lever just above the lens before firing the shutter with the shutter release on the body. The camera has a flip-up folding viewfinder. The lens focuses from closer than 2.5 feet to infinity. There is a button on the back near the winder which you must press to wind the film. This is to prevent accidental winding.
