In the early 1970s there were more families with several children living in Germany than nowadays. And it had become very common that sooner or later the children got a real camera. So it was a luck for the family budgets that simple cameras were in fashion, the Instamatics of [[Kodak]]. These cameras were even made by Kodak's German plant [[Kodak AG]] and by its British plant [[Kodak Ltd.]] . In the 1970s the European Kodak factories offered a characteristic own line of Instamatics. The series started with the Instamatic 33 which hadn't yet the rotating flash cube connector. The type numbers ended on "33". The higher the number the more features were offered. The Instamatic 133 offered two shutter speeds, 1/80 sec. for sunlight and 1/40 sec. for dim light or flash. The camera had a 1:11/43mm fixfocus lens.

In the early 1970s there were more families with several children living in Germany than nowadays. And it had become very common that sooner or later the children got a real camera. So it was lucky for the family's budget that simple cameras were in fashion, the Instamatics of Kodak. These cameras were made by Kodak's German plant Kodak AG and by its British plant Kodak Ltd. In the 1970s, these factories offered lines of Instamatics styled especially for the home market. One line started with the Instamatic 33, which had a connector for a separate flashgun instead of a flashcube socket. The model numbers in this line ended in "33"; the higher the number, the more features were offered.
