Kodak Eastman: Hawk-Eye Flashfun II

[bill339]

The Flashfun II was introduced by Kodak in 1965 and discontinued in 1969. It is exactly the same as the Hawkeye Flashfun but came in other colors. The camera uses 127 roll film and AG-1B flash bulbs. The flash unit is powered by two AA batteries that are stored behind the flash and accessed from the back by loosening the screw provided. The camera also has a flash bulb release lever on the side and a red frame count window in the back. The film advance knob is located on the bottom of the camera and is sheltered on all sides as is the open slide lever that resides with it. The fixed lens is plastic and is about 28mm and the large viewfinder the same. The shutter release has a long through but its placement for the right hand is good. The only other feature is the handy carry strap. This camera type came in a kit that had the camera, batteries, flash bulbs, instructions, warranty card, advertisments, and one roll of film.
