This Mandel is one of the street cameras that allowed a photographer to take and present to a customer a finished picture fairly quickly. This one is called a PDQ which may have meant Picture Done Quickly. The crank on the side moved the film down after the picture was snapped where the knob could be pulled that cut off a piece where it fell into the developing tank. Mine doesn't have the tank, I am sorry to say. Also the one minute glass timer on the side is not original.

Here are some folding flash holders from Kodak. I think this may be the full line. Two are generator type that don't need batteries and one is a remote flash. They all work fine.

I had forgotten about my Foca, so this is probably a better set. It's really an international group, with representation from England, France, Germany and Japan. My Reid was maybe originally bought without a lens since it has a Nikon lens on it. My Canon is my best keepsake of the four since it was given to me by my late brother in law, who bought it while stationed in Korea during that war and made hundreds of slides with it, which are all mine now. I actually have not used any of these cameras myself.

I remember going to the state fair and seeing this type camera as prizes. I'll bet there were 100 different models. I never tried taking pictures with any of these.

My first car was this 1948 Ford coupe. It cost me $125 in 1956. Sure wish I had more pictures of it. I guess I was more interested in girls than cameras back then. I think this one was made by my little sister.

Enjoyed the article. I have two Petites, both green. One is autographic and one is not. The autographic one has a green bellows and the other one has a black bellows.One also came with a green case of the same material and lined with a gold material. Inside it says 'Carrying case for Kodak Petite Made in USA Eastman Kodak Co. Rochester, NY'

I too am especially fond of Minoltas. They are what I started out with in 35mm way back when. A quick count in my display room shows at least 25 different models of Minolta. Some that I have are a Minolta 35, under 2000 s/n, an SR3, an Autocord TLR, both models of the 110 SLRs, several models of 16mm, an XK, a XD11, a XE7, 101,102 and so on. Interesting that of over 50 digitals, I have no Minoltas.

I have 510 in my display room and at least another 150 or so packed up. I would estimate that at least 90% of them would work. Of course lots of them use film types that are no longer available. I have over 50 models of digital. ....Fred

Another 'camera' that I really like is shown here. One of my sons, Dennis, here is holding the wooden camera that he made for me for my birthday a couple of years back. He works in local TV but has a side job of craftsman. He said the bellows of this camera really gave him a challenge, cutting and assembling each individual piece.

I little bit off subject by along the same line. I was looking through my instant camera collection yesterday and discovered that one of my old Kodak instants still had film in it. I knew it was useless but I said what the heck, I'll try it anyway. I put batteries in the camera and made a few shots. Of course the pictures all came out black except for one that would normally have been nearly totally washed out and in it you can barely make out some of the subject in the blackness.
