A Leica 1.G. camera made by Ernst Leitz
35 mm film was first introduced for Edison's Kinetograph film but was not of sufficient quality for still film until the early 1900s. Another factor which limited the uptake of 35 mm film was the competition from Kodak's multitude of film sizes. It was not until the 1930's that this smaller film size started to become a popular and it was from this time that 35mm cameras began to dominate the market.

Eastman Kodak 'Brownie model No 2A' camera.
Kodak made the 'Box Brownie model No 2A' between 1930-1933. The camera was released in an aluminium case as well as in blue, brown, grey, green, and red cases. It was replaced by the short-lived Brownie Six-16. George Eastman patented his first Kodak camera in 1889 with the slogan: 'You press the button we do the rest'. Over the next century Kodak cameras revolutionised photography by reducing costs and making simple but high quality camera's available to non-professionals.
This miniature camera was made by the Meopta company of Prague, Czechoslovakia in 1957. The original Mikroma appeared in the late 1940's and in 1957 Meopta produced an updated version. It has the same body design as the original Mikroma so it's easy to miss the few improvements. One big difference is that this model has an improved range of shutter speeds -- increased to 1/5-1/400. On the original, the shutter release and the film advance functions were built into one lever. Prague, Miniatures, Usb Flash Drive, Shutter Speed, Miniature Camera, Body Design, To Miss, Textiles
