Spec Notes
One of only three Instamatics built in Germany by Kodak AG rather than in Rochester or by Kodak Ltd - the others being the Instamatic 500 and the Instamatic Reflex, both also in this slice. Rodenstock Reomar 38mm f/2.8-f/22, a reliable per-Type maker attribution and one of the few in the Reomar family. Compur shutter 1/30-1/250. Focus range 2.5 ft to infinity. Hinged reflector for AG-1 flashbulbs. Meter and rangefinder presence NOT SOURCED. Weight and dimensions NOT SOURCED. DELIBERATELY EXCLUDED as not German-built, each on a sourced attribution: Instamatic 50 and 300 (Kodak Ltd, England and London), 100, 400, 700, 800, 804, 704, 714 and 814 (Eastman Kodak, Rochester). Those belong to a Rochester slice.
