The Kodak Instamatic 55X is a simple viewfinder camera. It is part of the Instamatic series.
It was built by Kodak from 1971 to 1972, after which it was replaced by the Instamatic 56X.
The camera has a 43 mm lens with an aperture of f/11. The focus of the lens is fixed. The only exposure time is 1/60 second. A flash can be connected to the Magicube socket.
The Instamatic 55X is designed for 126 film, but this is no longer in production. There is no alternative for this film format. So it is no longer possible to take pictures with the camera today.
