For the vast majority of people who
take pictures and don't want to be encumbered with all the technicalities,
an equally vast number of cameras have been designed. One problem
was the loading of film which often entailed routing film or
paper backing leaders over rollers and into fiddly slots. The
110 cassette was designed to overcome this, simply being dropped
into the back of the camera. Cameras making use of this film
were generally very simple indeed, literally being point and
press. The negative size of 13 x 17mm was rather limiting and
exposure control was either very basic or relied upon the films
wide latitude to achieve a result - which were often rather grainy.
The Kodak Ektra 22-EF is not un-typical of the breed, being very
limited in functions....and quite sizable compared to the negative
it produces.

The camera was designed so that the
integral dust cover swings over to form a handle.
