Little Kodak

Battou · Dec 13, 2007

I have passed on many of these but, I just could not resist this one.

Kodak Signet 40 in the box and the price tag was just screaming take me home

I havent even started cleaning it yet, but I think I may put this one to use.

I've relocated the images that where here in my PB account, I'll change the image tags here when time permits

I'm gonna have to see if I can find and replace the missing filters definately and maybe a flash bulb for sake of completion, there is sum stuff rattling around in the bottom of the box. I'll have to see what that all is, I know one thing is a batterie, Wich I doubt still holds power but neat to have.

If it takes the standard blue glass ones I think I might have a pack or two in a box somewhere.

Another great find! Myself, I can never resist camera's like that, especially in the box with all the stuff.

I'll have to look at the flash bulb info again, I skimmed it over, seein as I don't make a habbit of flash useage I did not pay a god awefull lot of attention to it.

I hope so, I have gotten so accustomed to shutter speeds of up to a grand, I am worried about my ability seein as I am confined to 1/400 and below. A well perfoming lens should definately help boost my enjoyment of it.

Her previous owner took really good care of it and used it with frequency from what I can tell, however I think I have found what had done it in

It seems to have been dropped, the view finder is way off. I am going to see if I can get it repaired but if not I'll have to figure it out and compensate, Not a big deal. As it turns out the batteries where left in the flash (I think The owner died and her kid is selling it) .....the damage is light, I can fix that my self. As it turns out the three filters I have where the only three that came with the set, so that is complete afterall and the glass of the lens is imaculet.

New pics of it all cleaned up
