Biographical / Historical

The Kodak Six-16 and Six-20 are folding cameras of the same design [1] that take size 616 and 620 rollfilm, respectively. Their art deco design touches are their distinguishing feature.

Both cameras sport two viewfinders. The first is a small “brilliant” type attached to the lens assembly that swivels to frame portrait and landscape photos. The second is a gunsight type attached to the camera body.
