The Eastman View Camera No. 2-D, introduced by Kodak in 1921, is a testament to the company's dedication to both consumer and professional photography. The camera, designed for the thriving professional portrait studios of the 20th century, stands out for its ability to produce 5x7" portraits, a format that distinctly set professional studio photographers apart from regular snapshot enthusiasts.
Available in multiple sizes, the 5x7" 2D version is a standout performer. The front standard movements allow for rise and fall, while the rear standard movements enable tilt and swing. These features provide the photographer with exceptional control over focus and composition.
Despite its solid wood construction and brass fittings, the Eastman View Camera 2D is not heavy or cumbersome. Its controls are user-friendly, and it is designed to fit on a standard 1/4"x20 tripod. With the addition of film holders and a few lenses, this camera is versatile enough for studio, environmental portraits, landscape, or architectural photography.
This offering is a classic piece of engineering that continues to hold its own in the 21st century, proving that large format photography doesn't have to be intimidating. It's an asset for photographers who value the blend of vintage and contemporary in their craft.
