1934-1942 / Kodak Brownie Junior Six-16 / Vintage Camera

The Kodak Brownie Junior Six-16 is a classic box-type, medium-format camera produced by Kodak between 1934 and 1942, notable for its art deco geometric design and sturdy construction of cardboard and metal covered in leatherette. It uses 616 roll film, which produces 8 images of 2.5 by 4.25 inches, and features a 100mm meniscus lens with fixed focus, a rotary shutter with speeds of 1/50 sec, and adjustable apertures of f/16 and f/22. The camera is characterized by its symmetrical, geometric front panel, chrome accents, and a distinctive octagonal winder bezel, embodying the Art Deco style of its era. Although designed for 616 film, it is often modified to accept 120 film due to the latter’s wider availability today. The camera offers a combination of aesthetic appeal and functional design, making it an iconic piece of vintage photographic equipment.
