The Kodak
Tourist and
Tourist II were the last in a
long line of American made folding roll film cameras from Eastman Kodak.
The Tourist uses 620 film making 8 2¼×3¼ exposures. The use of 828 roll
film for 8 28×40mm exposures was an option. The Tourist's most unusual
feature is its back; through the use of cleverly engineered latches, it
can be opened on the left side, right side, or removed completely.
The Tourist
II,
introduced in May of 1951, features a redesigned top cover and a new
viewfinder, which contains frame lines for the optional 828 roll film
adapter. Production was discontinued in July of 1958.
