The Kodak Instamatic X-15 is a viewfinder camera. It was built from 1970 to 1976, and the X-15 was sold for around 20 US dollars in the 1970s.
The model is one of the simpler cameras in the Instamatic series. It comes with a fixed lens, no light meter and two shutter speeds. However, you don’t really have a choice here either, since the lower one (140 s) is only possible with the use of a Magicube.
The Kodak Instamatic X-15 is designed for 126 (Kodapak) film. Since 2007, films are no longer produced for this format.
Kodak Instamatic X-15F
The Kodak Instamatic X-15F was built from 1976 to 1988. It is probably the last 126-Instamatic camera that was produced in the States. The big difference to the X-15 is that the X-15F has a connector for a flipflash.
