Kodak Instamatic 500
Certainly the most sophisticated and desirable of the European viewfinder Instamatics. A Schneider lens combined with a match-the-needle exposure setting in the viewfinder, autosensing of the film speed, a collapsable lens mount, coaxial flash socket AND hot-shoe makes this a very useable camera by almost any standard. The rugged metal casework makes this a slightly heavy but very robust example of Kodak AG production, called by some the "Instamatic Retina". The filter thread is even the "Retina-size" 29.5mm.
David Francis is currently researching the manufactured quantities of this model. If you could forward him your serial number, (in front of the hot-shoe), it would be most helpful.| name | : Kodak Instamatic 500 | | produced between | : 1963 - 1965 | | lens | : Xenar f/2.8, 38mm | | shutter | : Compur 1/30-1/500 | | film type | : 126 cartridge | | picture size | : 28 x 28 mm | | original list price (USD) | : 94.50 | | categories | : instamatic |
