I was working in a camera store in the mid-1960's. It was a regional
chain that had about 30 or 40 stores over several states.
There were several models of Instamatics that started at about
$15-$20. They came boxed with the flash bulb or cube of the day and a
126 cartridge of print film.

I did some reading in my Galen Rowell books. He says his 126 camera
had an f/2.8 Schneider lens. Some digging on the web indicates that it
was probably a Kodak. They made some fairly serious 126 cameras for
a while - even an SLR at one point! Even more amazing to me is that

There used to be a web site where you could purchase 126 film
