Kodak Instamatic 314

The Kodak Instamatic 314 is a 126 camera. It was built between 1968 and 1971 and sold at a price of 38 USD.

The model has a Kodar 41 mm lens with an aperture of f/8 permanently installed. It has two focus settings, 2 to 6 feet (about 0.61 cm to 138 cm) and one for anything further than 6 feet away.

The Kodak Instamatic 314 also has a built-in light meter. This is powered by two PX-825 batteries.

There is no need to search for these, as production of suitable film has ceased and photography is therefore not currently possible.

The feature set of the Kodak Instamatic 414 is almost congruent with the 314. However, the 126 camera, listed at the time for $48, can boast an additional clockwork mechanism for transporting the film to the next frame. It was produced by Kodak from 1968 to 1971.
