Biographical / Historical
The Kodak Instamatic 44 was an inexpensive (US $9.95) Instamatic camera for the 126 Kodapak film cartridge. It was sold from 1969 to 1973 and made in the USA and in Canada.
The camera had a fixed f/11 43mm plastic meniscus lens, and a single 1/50 sec. shutter speed. A manual knob instead of the usual lever was used for film advance. It could fire flash cubes using two PX825 batteries.
A similar model was the promotional Kodak Hawkeye Instamatic II.
