The No. 2 Folding Cartridge Premo represents a fascinating chapter in Kodak's history. Originally, "Premo" was a brand of the Rochester Optical Co., which Kodak acquired in 1903. This model was a "budget-friendly" alternative to the more expensive Autographic series. It features a leatherette-covered body with a folding baseboard. The camera uses a "Ball Bearing Shutter" which offered a few more speeds than a standard box camera (1/25, 1/50, and B/T settings). Image DSC_0000-1669 reveals the manual focusing scale, which allows the user to slide the lens board along a rail to preset distances from 8 feet (2.5 meters) to "Fixed" (Infinity).Category
