Collector's Notes

The Kodak S series represented Kodak's premium line of compact 35mm film cameras in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The S1000 AF stands out for its clever flip-up clamshell design—similar in concept to the popular Olympus Mju and Ricoh FF series—which keeps the lens glass and optical viewfinder fully protected inside a streamlined shell when folded shut.
