Kodak Ektra:

The Kodak Ektra is a very basic 110 Cartridge camera introduced by Kodak in 1978. Some, for the Canadian market, are labelled in French and English as appareil Kodak EKTRA camera (appareil being French for "camera"). The film is fully housed in a plastic cartridge, which also registers the image when the film is advanced. There is a continuous backing paper, and the frame number is visible through a window at the rear of the cartridge. The film does not need to be rewound and is very simple to load and unload. The film is usually pre-exposed with frame lines and numbers, a feature intended to make it easier and more efficient for photofinishers to print.

Kodak Ektra 200, Germany 1980-1987

The Kodak Ektra 200 is a camera for pocket film (110). It was produced in Stuttgart (Germany) from the beginning of the 80s.

The operation is, as with most pocket film cameras, baby easy. Insert the film, wind it with a slide until you see a „1“ through the window and it blocks, aim at the subject and pull the trigger, and the photo is ready.

The Ektra 200 is mostly plastic and comes in black and silver. It comes with a fold-out handle that, when folded, protects the camera from outside elements.

When taking pictures, you hold the camera by the handle with your left hand and use your right to operate the shutter release on the top of the camera.

There are actually no adjustment options. The aperture of the 22 mm Kodar lens is fixed at f/11 and the focus cannot be changed either. Exposure times are two, 1/125 second and 1/250 second. This changes depending on the sensitivity of the film loaded.

A flash can also be used. Here, however, the Ektra 200 only offers the option for using a Kodalux 3 or a flash magazine (Flipflash / Topflash).

This 110 was manufactured in Germany from 1980 to 1983. Its lens is Kodar 25 mm F/9,5, without Focusing, of 1,20m ad infinitum. It is equipped with a cursor which makes it possible to select one of the three symbols (visible also in the finder): sun, clouds or flash. With a film of sensitivity 400 asa, the sun corresponds at 1/250 secondes, this speed falling with 1/25 with a film 64 or 100 asa. The position cloud corresponds at 1/50 whatever the film. When a flash is used, speed is 1/50 secondes.
Its finder is collimated (brilliant lines).

The Kodak Ektralite 10 camera was an inexpensive 110-format point and shoot camera produced by Eastman Kodak from 1978 to 1994. It has a built-in electronic flash and a sliding cover to protect both the lens and viewfinder from dust and scratches. These cameras were one of the first 110 cameras to feature automatic film speed detection, in which the camera would automatically adjust the shutter speed in relation to the speed of the film. Towards the end of the production run, they came in various colors such as Black, yellow,Pink, purple, orange, red and turquise, but without the sliding cover in front.

Kodak Ektralite 450, Germany 1980-1984

This 110 was manufactured in Germany from 1981 to 1987. Its lens is Reomar 24 mm F/6,8, fix-focus from 1,20m ad infinitum.
A cursor makes it possible to choose between the mode “sun”, the mode “cloud” and the flash. The use of the flash regulates the aperture to 6,8 and speed to the 1/60. In the position “sun”, if the film is Kodacolor 400, speed is 1/250 and the aperture F/9,5. With a film Kodacolor II speed is 1/125 and aperture 9,5.

In mode “Cloud”, if the film is Kodacolor 400, speed is 1/60 and the aperture F/9,5. With a film Kodacolor II speed is 1/60 and aperture 9,5.

When the camera is in Flash position, a pin leaves between the finder and the lens, where he is written “Reomar 24 mm”. When the cap (handle) is folded back, this pin is pushed back. That results in to reposition the cursor on the mode “cloud” and to stop the flash.
Like all the outfit of the Ektra cameras, this one contained, in addition to the instructions, a plate of self-adhesive letters (silver on black bottom) making it possible to the owner to personalize his camera, by sticking its initial in three sites to the back of the camera, a folder with 10 photo councils and a general presentation of the cameras Ektra, advantage of their handle and flash usable with Ektra.

The bright-line viewfinder shows four focussing zones from 'head and shoulders' to 'mountains' and changes magnification when switched into 'tele'. Flash is provided by Flipflash and there is an extra control marked "EX" for extended exposure, this appears to introduce a slower shutter speed. Another unusual feature is that the fold-over handle detaches to reveal what I assume is a fitting for an electronic flashgun.
