017.025.003a Kodak Instamatic x-15f
The X-15F was produced between 1976 and 1988 mainly in the USA, but this is the Canadian version. It was the last 126 camera produced by Kodak. On the front, "camera" and "appareil" are written in accordance with the rules of Canadian bilingualism. The only user controls are a shutter leaver located on the front of the camera, and a film advance leaver located on the rear of the camera. The shutter mechanism is a simple mechanical leaf type shutter (1/90th sec normal, 1/45th sec with flash). The shutter will not fire until the film has been fully advanced to the next available frame. The chassis of the camera is primarily made out of plastic, including the lens. The only metal parts are the front faceplates, and the advance leaver. The 126 film format features one of the built-in first film-speed sensing systems; [although not all 126 cameras would take advantage of this feature].
