The Kodak Bantam 4.5 is one of the first cameras I have run film through in 25+ years. It is an amazingly compact and capable 828 film camera that produces sharp images with good contrast. Build quality is exceptional, everything feels solid 77+ years after it left the factory.
For such a small camera, the controls are well laid out and logical. It made me feel comfortable stepping back into the world of film photography.
