Kodak Ektra 22-EF, 110 cassette film camera, c1978 |
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 film's 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.
