Kodak Sterling II
Sterling II |
The Sterling II was made in England by Kodak Ltd., introduced in May 1955 and withdrawn in 1959. It is a folding camera taking 6x9cm images on 620 film. There was no predecessor Sterling or Sterling I.
The body is a metal casting with added sheet metal and chromed parts, and a plastic top plate. The button beside the viewfinder is the folding release catch; the red button beside the winding knob is the shutter release. The small knob beside the viewfinder is merely to lift the feed spool retainer during loading.
- Shutter: Pronto, speeds 1/25-1/200 + B with flash sync and self-timer
- Lens: Kodak Anaston, 105mm / f4.5, focus down to 3.5ft
The Sterling II is the same as the Junior II, except for the better lens and shutter.
