THE KODAK SYSTEM
TO the amateur photographer "Kodak" means more than the
mere trade-mark on a camera. It stands for the whole simple and
'efficient system of photography worked out for him by the Eastman
Kodak Companv.
I'he Kodak camera and. its name came into being in 1888. For
several years before that the company, already important manu-
facturers of photographic goods for the professional trade, had made
progress toward the simplifying of picture-making. Its history
since that date has been, in reality, the history of the growth and
development of the whole broad field of photography.
It is best known to the public for its activities in the amateur
field. But its progress along other lines has been equally notable.
It was Kodak film that made the motion picture possible. In the
production of plates and papers and studio apparatus, it is a leader
in serving the professional photographer ; its lenses and rerial
cameras helped our birdmen in the penetration of German camou-
flage ; its X-Ray plates and fiIms are lending their aid to physicians
and surgeons the world over, and its chemical laboratories have
re-found many of the secrets that were supposed to be hopelessly
hidden beyond the Rhine.
And in all these phases of photography there is an interlocking
of ideas and knowledge. The improvement made in one field almost
invariably suggests new possibilities, further advancement in some
other direction. The very breadth of the businessmakes possible an
expenditure in Research Laboratories and in the employment of
technical experts that enables us to develop new ideas and to make
constant progress in the perfection of goods and processes,a progresd
not possible to a concern working in a narrower groove.

Good pictures depend upon a number of things. A good camera or a good lens or shutter can none of them alone be responsible for successin picture-making. Each detail must not only be right of itself, but must be in harmony with every other detail-which fact accounts for the successof the Kodak system. When we put zr lens on a carnera we use with it a shutter that is so made as to give the best results with that lens ; Kodak film is made with just the proper degree of contrast and speed and orthochroma- tism to give the best results in photographing under the conditions of lighting that the amateur ordinarily encounters ; Velox paper is made to give the best results frorn the kind of negative that is pro- duced on fiIm under such conditions. The very formulas for the development of films and papers are ntade to nteet these con- ditions. They are l'orked out by men who knorv not merely the action of these chemicals, but know intimately the goods thev are to be used u'ith. And so, in workirtg out the daylight loading Kodak, and the Kodak Film l'ank method of development, in giving greater speed to a fiIm-in everv advancement, in the consideration of ever"vnew idea-it is the Kodak practice to adopt only those changes that mean a further perfecting of the l(odak s"vstem,mean lletter pictures or a simplerrvav of getting equall,v good pictures. And then there is the arnateur himself to be considered. Some, there are, lvho want the simplest of canleras, who care onlv for joll;' vacation snap-shots made on bright days, and finished for them by the dealer, while others take delight in running the whole gamut of photograph;'. No picture is too difficult for thern to undertake. For them there are as great delights in the developing and printing as in the picture-taking. They learn to know and use color filters ; the.v not onlv make prints but tone them. The"v find joy in the makirrg of, enlargements ; they revel in lantern slides, and are on familiar terms with reducers and intensifiers, and make a study of artistic composition.View original page 6
Page 7 · Read text
For all of these the Kodak system goes all the way. With each
camera there is a little book that tells, in simple terms, just how to
operate that camera, how to make outdoor pictures and indoor
pictures, including flash-lights. For everv further step in amateur
photography there's a helpful booklet, free for the asking.
Then there is our little illustrated magazine, r{odaherlt, edited
from the beginner's standpoint, that goes free for one ;'ear to every
purchaser of a Kodak or Brownie, who fills out and mails to us
the blank that is bound into the instruction book which accompanies
each camera.
Nor do we stop even with the distribution of our magazine and
our practical monographs on photographic subjects. There is, here
at Rochester, a staff of correspondents, each with a broad knowledge
of photography and each in intimate touch with our experts in
every department of photography, ready to ansu,er promptly and
clear'ly any photographic question that may be asked.
The Kodak Company is no longer a mere ttmanufacturing enter-
prise. " l'hrough the breadth of its world-wide activities and its
research, it has become an institution. And as such it recognizes an
obligation. Its aim is not merely to construct lenses and build
cameras and manufacture films and papers and plates, but also to
widen the knowledge of photography so that the art may mean more
to all the world.

KODAK LENSES
WffnTHER it is a single lens, a rapid rectilinear or an anastigmat,
no lens that is not the best of its particular type is adopted for use
on a Kodak or Brownie camera. Any of these lenses,when used with
the shutter that it is adapted to use with, and in every case this
detail of manufacture is looked after most carefully, will produce
good results under all normal conditions of light.
In the Kodak Anastigmats we have a type of lens that is made
with particular reference to hand camera requirements. The earlier
anastigmats were made to serve a dual purpose. Their owners usually
were enthusiasts who had several cameras for pictures of various sizes,
and it was customary to shift the lenses from one camera to another.
The lens that worked, for instance, aL -f. 6.8, on a 4 x 5, was
frequently needed to use as'a wide angle lens on a 5 x7, and when
stopped. down Lo -f. 16 would do the work admirably.
Realizing that the Kodaker would not, once in a hundred times,
care to use a lens on any camera except that to which it was originally
fitted (or one of the same size), we set to work to make a one-purpose
lens that would meet his specific requirements. The result was the
Kodak Anastigmat. It is not adaptable to use as a wide angle lens-
but, on the size of film for which it is listed, and at its advertised
speed (aperture), it has no superior.
The Kodak Anastigmats f.7.7 are speedier than the fastest
rectilinear lenses, and at least equal the best anastigmats in depth,
sharpness and flatness of field. The Kodak Anastigmat f. 6.8 }nas
, the same high quality and has nearly 50 per cent greater speed
than rlne f. 7.7.
It is made for a purpose and fits that purpose. The Kodak Anas-
tigmat has not the wide interchangeability that some of the older
anastigmats have, but for Kodak use, you cannot obtain a better
lens at any price.

IX tft" earlier tlays of hand. cameras the pictures were all of thenr
either round or square or nearly square. flhe popular sizes were
3% x 3%, g'A x 4% and ,\ x 5. Some years ago we realized that
these shapes wer:e not desirable, that nearly all pictures needed trim-
ming and that meant a waste of film and paper. So we introduced
the g% x 5% Kodak (post-card size) with the result that the 4 x 5
camera has been practicall,v elimi-
nated. Similarl;' the 2% x 4%
