Kodak Duaflex III: jewel in the roughThis is a featured page


Kodak Duaflex III: jewel in the rough - Light of DayI bought this camera originally to use as trading fodder for another that I had my eye on. It arrived in the mail fairly dusty and looking like the pittance I paid for it. But I did my usual tune-up on it, disassembling the front to clean the shutter and readjust the focusing front cell. The reflection count for the lens showed it to be a triplet design--possibly a very decent performer in the right circumstances. SoI ran a roll of Neopan 100 (120 rerolled onto a spare 620 spool) through it this weekend, catching my kid's families in pose and play. Seeing the results, this camera is going to be staying put--it's really a pretty decent performer, and actually pretty fun to use!

Besides the bright finder (nice!) and focusing Kodar lens (also nice to have), the Duaflex III has a single Instantaneous shutter speed (about 1/25 sec) plus Time and a shutter reset (for multiple exposures), and has a range of iris settings of f/8, f/11, and f/16.

These photos were all shot at f/8 in moderate shade. My infinity adjustment is still off--a bit close throughout the range, but easy to tweak to a better focus.

Hi, i am glad to find there is another person who likes these camera's ! I am wondering about the 620 spool and where to find on. Has anyone tried the flash on this camera? Your photos were great! Is there much difference between the Duoflex 3 and Duoflex 4?
