Kodak Canada was founded by Eastman Kodak in 1899 in a Toronto shop where employees cut sheet film and fitted lenses on cameras to support the growing potential for a photographic market in Canada. As Canadian interest in photography grew, the company expanded across the country throughout the 20th century to produce in all aspects of photography including still and movie cameras, film, x-ray film, photocopy paper, and photographic chemicals under many popular names including Brownie, Kodacolor, Carousel, and Supermatic. Kodak Canada a été fondé par Eastman Kodak en 1899 dans un magasin à Toronto ou les employées coupaient des feuilles de film et mettaient des lentilles sur des caméras pour appuyer le potentiel du marché photographique au Canada. Le plus que l'intérêt photographique Canadien a grandi, la compagnie s'est étendue à travers le Canada pour produire plusieurs aspects photographiques incluant des appareil-photos, film, film radiographique, papier à photocopie et produits chimiques de photographies. - Function

This is a box type camera that uses 620 roll film with a fixed focus Kodet lens f15, Kodar f8 viewing lens, and I and B shutter settings. The camera produces 2 ¼ x 2 ¼ inch images and has a lens hood. Styled like the Duaflex model III, the IV is modified to accept the Kodalite Flasholder, also used on the Brownie Hawkeye Flash Model and other Kodak models. The model IV has double exposure prevention. A cheap imitation of a Voigtlander Brilliant camera, it is a pseudo twin lens reflex (TLR). Ceci est un appareil photo de type boîtier qui utilise un film en rouleau 620 avec lentilles focus Kodet f15, lentilles de visualisation Kodar f8 et des réglages d'obturation I et B.
