There is no shortage of information on my site or elsewhere online on the history of Dr. The Regent is very hard to find today, but if you can get your hands on one, they are well worth adding to your collection. The camera was expensive to build and sell, was not exported to the United States, and was in production for a very short period of time. Featuring a coincident image coupled rangefinder inside of an aluminum and leather body with high quality lenses and shutters, and supporting both 6×9 and 4.5×6 images, the Regent should have been a rousing success, but it wasn’t. The Kodak Regent was a sleek and innovative camera built alongside many other high quality Kodak cameras in Stuttgart Germany. Viewfinder: Flip up Optical Scale Focus and Separate Coincident Image Coupled Rangefinder Lens: 10.5cm f/4.5 Schneider-Kreuznach Xenar uncoated 4-elements in 3-groups
An updated Regent II was later offered with a redesigned all metal top plate and removed the ability to use the half frame baffle, and also used regular 120 film, instead of Kodak’s 620 format.įilm Type: 620 Roll Film (eight 6cm x 9cm or sixteen 4.5cm x 6cm exposures per roll) The Regent was one of only a few cameras not made in the United States to use Kodak’s 620 film format. The Regent was a high end camera with a coupled coincident image rangefinder and came with a selection of top quality Schneider-Kreuznach or Zeiss lenses. The Regent natively shoots eight 6cm x 9cm images on 620 roll film or with the use of a mask, sixteen 4.5cm x 6cm images. This is a Kodak Regent, a folding rangefinder roll film camera made in Stuttgart, Germany by Kodak AG starting in 1935.
