The black leatherette skin is largely intact with only minor typical corner scuffing, edge wear, and faint superficial surface oxidation on some exposed nickel-plated metal parts. The front door opens smoothly and locks into a perfectly rigid, flat profile. The internal folding bellows are remarkably supple, clean, and free from catastrophic tears, heavy flaking, or major structural light leaks. \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"546\"\u003eSensor\/Optics:\u003c\/b\u003e The fixed taking lens optic is clear and free from heavy clouding, deep scratches, or internal glass separation. A standard, expected level of internal micro-dust and faint age-related cleaning marks are visible under strong inspection light, which is typical for an antique optic of this vintage era. The small waist-level viewfinder is intact and usable. \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"918\"\u003eMechanics\/Electronics:\u003c\/b\u003e Fully operational.

What makes this camera such an absolute treasure today is its raw mechanical simplicity and the sheer beauty of its folding engineering—the way the front bed drops down and the bellows pull out with a soft click is incredibly satisfying. Originally designed to shoot the historic A116 film format to create large, gorgeous contact prints, these cameras have found a passionate new life among experimental analog artists who modify them to shoot panoramic frames on modern 120 roll film. This specific example has survived the decades wonderfully; its bellows are beautifully preserved, and the shutter clicks with that iconic, nostalgic mechanical snap. Whether you are looking to add a gorgeous piece of history to your display shelf or seeking a unique vintage camera to push your artistic boundaries, this Kodak Junior is an exceptional, honest survivor.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eKodak No. 1A Autographic Junior\u003c\/b\u003e Antique Folding Camera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003eFixed \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"6\"\u003eKodak Ball Bearing Shutter\u003c\/b\u003e \u0026amp; Optic Assembly\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003eBrand: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"7\"\u003eKodak\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003eModel: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"7\"\u003eNo. 1A Autographic Junior\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"\u003eCamera Type: Large Format Camera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\"\u003eFilm Format: Vintage A116 Roll Film (Capable of custom modern 120 modifications)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,4,0\"\u003eLens Type: Fixed Meniscus \/ Achromatic Doublet Optic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,5,0\"\u003eShutter System: Kodak Mechanical Ball Bearing Shutter (Instantaneous, Time, and Bulb settings)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,6,0\"\u003eFocus System: Manual Scale Focusing (Adjustable front standard slider plate)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,7,0\"\u003eCategory: 1.
