It came with a case and the instruction booklet. It is in good cosmetic and working condition with perhaps some leakage of the batteries. My 100 was purchased for $1.99 on Jat a Salvation Army store in Council Bluffs, Iowa. According to Kodak History the 100 sold from 1963 to 1966 at a price of $15.95, over $100 in 2005 dollars. According to the same site, the lens is a 43mm, f11 lens. The Kodak Instamatic 50 was released some weeks before that in the United Kingdom according to the fantastic site, Kodak Classics by Mischa Koning. The 100 is apparently the first Instamatic for the U.S. Two shutter speeds: 1/90 second with flasholder down, 1/45 second with flasholder up. Kodak 100 Instamatic, very simple, fixed focus, fixed aperture, no exposure meter, with pop up flasholder taking single AG-1 type flash bulbs. Introduction (Top) | Kodak | Konica | Minolta | Canon | Yashica | Olympus | Mamiya | Ricoh | Zeiss Ikon | History and Technology For detailed information, select "History and Technology." The widespread advent of quick loading and autofocus 35mm cameras by the 1980s spelled the demise of 126 cameras (except on E-bay at bargin prices). The key to the 126 camera success beginning in the early 60s was easy loading, drop in film cartridges. While 126 cameras were generally unsophisticated point and shoot cameras, many were quite sophisticated cameras capable of excellent results. The first camera I used, a Kodak Instamatic 104, and the first camera that was mine, a Minolta Autopak 600-X, were 126 cameras that are in the museum.
