From the beginning, the
majority of cameras manufactured by Eastman Kodak have been intended for the amateur
rather then the professional photographer. Thus, some Kodak cameras may not have been the
highest quality cameras ever produced. However, Kodak has undoubtedly sold more cameras,
and those Kodaks have recorded more images, than any other brand of camera in history.
Furthermore, many photographic innovations were first introduced on Kodak cameras,
including the introduction of roll film. I occasionally sit and stare in wonder at these cameras staring back at me, trying to conjure up in my imagination the images that these cameras have seen -- the lifetimes and events that they have recorded. |
