The Kodak Instamatic 25 is a simple viewfinder camera. It was built by Kodak in Spain and Great Britain from 1966 to 1972.
The design of the plastic camera was penned by Kenneth Grage. The British industrial designer is also responsible for the look of the Instamatic 133 and the Wilkinson Sword razor blades.
The Kodak Instamatic 25 is equipped with a 43 mm f/11 lens. It has two exposure times, 1/90 sec (sun symbol) and 1/40 sec (half sun). The focus of the lens is fixed.
The viewfinder is one of the reversal Galilei type. The camera also has a connection for a flash. For this, it has a hot shoe for Kodak flash bulbs, like the Kodalux 25.
The Kodak Instamatic 25 is for 126. The cassette film is no longer manufactured. There is no suitable replacement.
There was also a “premium version” of the Instamatic 25, the Instamatic 26.
