A very nice line-up, I'd say sisters and a cousin Wink

How is that cousin by the way, the Kissin Kodak?

Great looking ones! I know only just Yashicas. I am curious too about Kodak.

What lens is in the Kodak?

The Kodak was handed down to me from my father, he bought it new in the late forties (49 ithink). The lenses are 80mm f3.5 Kodak Anastar.
I have only put a couple of rolls through it since I got it a few years back.
It takes 620 film, buying it it way too expensive so I would take tin snips or scissors and trim the spools of a roll of 120 to make it work. This makes the film advance kinda rough becaue the spools are not perfectly round. The lenses seem pretty decent though.

Does anybody know any information about the lenses?

The Anastar is a Tessar type 4-element lens. Originally Kodak called them
"Anastigmat Specials" but later changed the name to Anastar when the
term "Anastigmat" fell out of fashion.
