This is the oldest camera I own. It was manufactured by the Eastman Kodak Co. in Rochester N.Y. around 1926. The Kodex shutter only has three speeds (B, 1/25s. and 1/50s.) and focussing through changing the length of the bellows with a knob. Apertures: 8, 16, 32 and 64.
A while ago I have run a 120 film through it and I was surprised about the crisp sharpness of the uncoated Hawk-Eye lens. The pictures were taken at a sunny day using a tripod at f64 and 1/25s.

Taking in account the external condition of the body that was a pleasant surprise indeed!
