A, B, C Kodaks

George Eastman had created a big market of amateur photographers with his original Kodak of 1888, but at a price of $ 25 the Kodak was too expensive for many people. Another drawback was having to send the Kodak to the factory to change a full film for a new one. The A, B and C Kodaks were cheaper and one could easily change the film themselves. With the Ordinary models, this still had to be done in a dark room, but with the Daylight devices, the film could be changed in daylight.

The daylight films came in lightproof cardboard boxes with velvet light traps. Two boxes were used: one for the supply spool and one for the takeup.
