Opal and her Kodak EK6 Instant Film Camera from the 1970's @DanOConnorTech

Uploaded March 2021 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

Kodak copied Polaroid's instant film cameras in the 1970's until Polaroid won a lawsuit forcing Kodak to stop selling their instant film cameras and film. I got a box of Kodak EK6 items that had been owned by "Opal" that included her correspondence with Kodak about her EK6 and potential refund Kodak was forced to offer. I do manage to get a dark slide to eject before the camera seemed to totally fail, but no film exposure.
