Reply #1: Kodak Duaflex

[Clark4Prez]

It was my mom's camera. I don't have it anymore, but I have started collecting old Kodaks. I have four Brownies and one Duaflex.

The Duraflex used a waistlevel finder, so you held the camera down and framed your picture at waistlevel rather than eyelevel like most cameras today. Waistlevel has some advantages a larger viewing area and you can shoot up by holding your camera out and not crimp your neck. The downside is the image is reversed, meaning that if you move your camera to your left the image moves right (this is actually how your camera sees the image, but most cameras today correct this and left is left).

Here's a pic of my first camera:
