A Triumph in Camera Making. The No. 4a FOLDING KODAK embodies in a larger form all the features which have made the 3A Folding Pocket Kodak so popular. It enables the photographer to produce large direct pictures, of pleasing proportions, on roll films or plates, without an undue increase of the bulk and weight of his outfit. The practical worker will find in this fine camera every desirable movement, including rising and sliding front of ample range, automatic focussing device, and the ordinary focussing scale. The lens is such as we supply with the 7 by 5 Cartridge Kodak. Perfect covering power is therefore assured. TAKES DAYLIGHT LOADING FILMS WHICH CAN BE DEVELOPED IN DAYLIGHT.
