The Kodak Instamatic 26 is a viewfinder camera. It is a “premium” version of the Instamatic 25. It was produced by Kodak in England from 1968 to 1972.
The features of the Kodak Instamatic 26 are identical to the 25, and you can read more about it in the article on this camera. The difference is in the exterior of the camera. The body of the model is completely black with a silver front plate.
In terms of film, it requires 126 film. These are no longer manufactured. Other film formats, like 110, are not compatible with the Instamatic 26. For this reason, you can no longer use the camera to take pictures today.
