The first Cirkut panorama camera was developed by Rochester Panoramic Camera Co. until 1904 and produced since 1905. Century Co. of Rochester soon became owner of the camera maker. Thus beside the original Cirkut some Century Cameras equipped with Cirkut panorama film back may have been marketed since then as Cirkut cameras. Kodak became owner of Century. Thus most Cirkut cameras are badged as product of Kodak's Folmer & Schwing Division, and the large Cirkut roll film cartridges were product of Eastman Kodak.
