History Of Use

The Kodak Brownie Reflex, Synchro Model was made in the United States from 1941 to 1952. A similar non-Synchro model, which didn’t synchronize the flash with the shutter, was also made from 1940 to 1941. Its original price was $6. It took typical square photos on 127 roll film, and the camera featured a twin-lens reflex, which showed mirror images in the view finder.
