Biographical / Historical
The No.1 Kodak Series III and the No.1 Pocket Kodak were the last folding cameras coming out of Kodak's Rochester plant to use standard 120 roll film. After 1932 Kodak still produced 120 roll film because of the market it had created for the format in past years, but medium-format cameras made by the company after that period would only accept 620-format film. The Series III cameras at this time were aimed at mid-level consumer demands, offering good quality at reasonable prices.
