KODAK 110 CAMERAS
This list is inaccurate and incomplete. If you are able to provide more accurate information than is listed here, please contact us.
(1996) It looks just like a 35mm Point & Shoot, but it's really a 110 camera -- made for kids (or dog-crazed adults!). The front is covered with dalmations, of course, and it has a built-in flash -- which is turned on and off with a switch. It has a 22mm f7 lens which switches to f11 for flash use. The shutter is set at 1/125. It has a sliding lens cover which also locks the shutter release.
(1980) It is simply marked "BROWNIE CAMERA" on the front, but it came in a few varieties. It was simply a late version of the Kodak Pocket Instamatic A-1 of 1978, and has an unusual boxy shape for a 110 camera with a simple, one button operation. But then most of Kodak's Brownies were designed for simple operation. It was made by Kodak Limited, a subsidiary, which sold cameras largely in other markets -- in this case mainly the UK and Australia. Its advanced features include a viewfinder, and that it takes a flip-flash. Depending on your point-of-view, there were different versions, although Kodak Limited labelled all of them, "Brownie Camera". The original was probably just a rebadged Kodak Pocket A-1 with a 25mm, single element, f11 lens, and a 1/60 shutter speed. But like the Pocket A-1, there were variations. Some had a black shutter release button while others sported a yellow button. Some have a black plate around the lens, while others are silver. Also, the script is slightly different on some models. Some have been seen with a handle/front cover -- similar to other Kodak 110 cameras. A few were made in brown and gold, possibly as gifts, promotions, or store display purposes.
(1986) Kodak Limited came out with modified version of the Kodak Brownie Cross (see below), and called it the "Kodak Brownie II". It is just a rebadged Kodak 110 Brownie Cross that was sold in a non-US market, so it is hard to find -- unless you are friends with an ardent Kodak Brownie collector!
(1993) Focus-free lens. It has a rather long 28mm lens and a 1/125 shutter. Oddly enough, it has a motor drive for fast film advance and a large, flip-up flash for red-eye reduction. It was designed just for 400 speed film and uses two AA batteries. Why it was called the Cameo instead of the Cobra, we will never know.
(1985) A year before they released the Brownie II, Kodak Limited came out with an advanced version of the original 110 Brownie Camera (see above), and called it the "Kodak Cross", instead of the "Brownie II Camera". Unlike its predecessor, it has the standard 110, "flat" body-style, and now has a 22mm, single element, f11 lens, with shutter speeds from 1/50 to 1/250. Also, in this model, the speed is set by the film cartridge -- either 100 or 400. It also has a switch on the top for sunny or flash -- which changes the exposure setting. It came with a built-in camera cover -- similar to other Kodak 110 cameras. It was mainly sold in Brazil -- which is a strongly Catholic country. My guess is that they thaught that the name -- "CROSS" -- would help sales.
(1978) Has a 25mm f11 fixed focus lens. Takes ISO 100 and 400 film. Uses Flip-flash. Single shutter speed.
(1978) An upgraded version with a 22mm f5.6 fixed focus lens. Takes ISO 100 and 400 film. Uses Flip-flash. Shutter speed set by film cartridge. Weather dial sets f-stop.

Similar to the Ektra 12 with a built-in flash. The camera has a built-in cover that turns into a handle. Made in Germany.

Similar to the Ektra 22 with a built-in flash, but not quite. Wide angle 15mm lens and a switch on top for sunny/cloudy/flash conditions. The camera has a built-in cover that turns into a handle. Made in Germany.

(1978-1981) According to many, this is the top of the line Kodak 110 -- despite
not have any automatic exposure features! Instead, it has five, mechanical,
shutter speeds from 1/30 - 1/350 that are set by the film cassette speed
(OK, I guess you could call that an automatic exposure feature), in combination
with manually selected "weather" symbols on the top of the camera -- which
also sets the f-stop (f8, f4, or f1.9) and the flash. This was Kodak's
most versatile pocket camera -- equal to almost any photo situation, yet
small enough to fit in your pocket. The lens is extraordinary -- a
super-fast 25mm (f1.9) four-element lens. It was one of the
speed-demons of the submini world.
Wide open OR stopped down, it can produce negatives with edge-to-edge
sharpness. One reason is that this Kodak lens is designed with an aspheric
element -- a design usually limited to expensive lenses. The viewfinder
is pretty amazing for a 110 pocket camera. It's large, bright and displays
110% of the picture area, which is outlined by a projected reticle with parallax
correction. Focusing aids and exposure data are also clearly visible
at all times. You can focus and adjust the camera without taking it from
your eye. The tiny integral flash, using two AAA batteries, has an effective
range up to 20 feet with ASA 400 film. It recycles in an astonishingly brief
two seconds with fresh batteries. In many ways this "can-do" camera from
Kodak is a joy to handle. The shutter release is firm and precise. The smoothly
operating focus wheel fits nicely under your fingertip. And there's a sliding
lens/viewfinder cover you can't misplace. In use, you only need to focus
from infinity to four feet, usig a sliding lever (with distance in feet and
meters), and then select one of four "weather" symbols -- which changes the
shutter speed, f-stop, and flash, in combination. For ISO 100 film,
the * setting (SUNNY) gives you 1/175 at f8. The EX setting (EXTRA
EXPOSURE) gives you 1/125 at f4. The LX setting (LONG EXPOSURE) gives
you 1/100 at f1.9. The Z setting (FLASH) gives you
1/30 at f1.9 AND fires the flash. Using ISO 400 speed film applies
the same f-stops, and it increases the shutter speed -- but the manual is
unclear as to what extent.
(1978) 25mm f8 lens with fixed focus from 5 feet to infinity. Shutter speed set by film cartridge. Speeds of 1/60 with flash (built-in), 1/125 with ISO 100 and 1/210 at ISO 400. Ready light in viewfinder. Built-in flash.

(1980) That's right, the 500 came out before the 400. It features a 22mm F5.6 with built-in electronic flash. Exposure is fully automatic with red/green LED indicators in the Viewfinder for "OK Shoot/Don't Shoot without Flash" simplicity. The most impressive feature of the camera is its lens - a multi-coated Reomar lens from Schneider Kreuznach of Germany -- an unexpectedly high quality lens for a 110 camera.
(1984) Bare-bones 110 with large, rubber-padded ends -- for kids.
(1987-1989) The Fuji 110 Quick Snap of 1986 was such a successful single-use camera in Japan that Kodak decided to get into the game with this 110. It basically looks just like a box of 110 film -- because it basically is. OK, a lens, shutter & viewfinder were added. The box is marked "KODAK FLING 200" because it only was available with 200 speed film. It was made in two slightly different versions. The original, which is harder to find, has the viewfinder on the top and the film advance on the bottom, while the more common model has them both on the top. Six of one, half dozen of the other. It should not be confused with the later 35mm version of 1988 -- which, although is basically a similar looking box, it is larger and marked "KODAK FLING 35".

(1988) It's a "Winner" because it commemorates the 1988 Olympics -- not because of its features. It has an f11 25mm lens with a 1/90 second shutter speed. It takes a flashbar -- which sets the shutter speed to 1/40. Some are marked "Winner Pocket Camera", while other s are simply marked "Winner Camera". It was available in red, blue, brown or black, and apparently made from 1979 to 1990 -- so it's a winner in the longevity competition, anyway!
(1979) Special version of the Trimlite 18.
