Vintage Kodak 66 Model III medium-format folding camera, made in England and dating from approximately 1958–1963.
The Model III is the higher-specification version of the Kodak 66, featuring a Kodak Anaston 75mm f/4.5 lens and a Velio mechanical leaf shutter with speeds from 1/10 to 1/200 second plus Bulb.
This example has been tested and is fully working.
The camera is in very good vintage condition, with only normal signs of age and previous use. It presents very well considering its age, and all tested mechanical functions are operating correctly.
The self-erecting folding design allows the lens and bellows assembly to fold neatly into the camera body when not in use.
It uses standard 120 roll film, producing 12 large 6 × 6cm square photographs per roll. Unlike many obsolete vintage film formats, 120 film remains readily available today.
The camera is completely mechanical and does not require batteries.
A very usable classic British-made Kodak folding camera, equally suitable for medium-format photography, display or a vintage camera collection.
No film is included.
