The Kodak Instamatic 233 is a viewfinder camera. It was built by Kodak in the 1960s (1968-1970).
A Reomar 41 mm lens with a maximum aperture of f/6.6 is permanently installed in the Kodak Instamatic 233. For the exposure time, the photographer has the choice between 1/40 s and 1/80 s.
The Kodak Instamatic 233 requires 126 cassette films. Films for this format are no longer produced. There is no replacement, for this reason, you can no longer take pictures with the camera at this time.
Kodak Instamatic 233X
The Kodak Instamatic 233X is almost congruent with the Instamatic 233 in terms of features, but it has a socket for Magicubes rather than Flashcubes.
