The third type was equipped with the 25mm f/1.9 lens, non-interchangeable mid-1927. All f/6.5 and f/3.5 cameras were equipped with a 20mm lens.

A full winding of the spring would run the motor for about fifteen to twenty feet of film. In 1925, Kodak followed with a spring motor-driven Ciné-Kodak Model B, at which time the original Ciné-Kodak was re-designated as Model A, though that designation was not added to the camera nameplate until November 1929.

With the discontinuation of the motor, additional crank accessories were introduced: one for single frames, and one with a 4:1 gear ratio for slow motion work. The only additional lens offered was a 78mm f/4.5 telephoto. The lens focal range was 2 to 50 feet and INF (infinity). Early in 1924 a battery-powered electric motor attachment was introduced, but discontinued in 1926, at which time an improved version of the camera with an interchangeable Kodak Anastigmat f/1.9 lens was introduced. The camera was equipped with a fixed 1-inch (25mm) lens. From family events to amateur and experimental movie productions, these cameras provided a new way to record personal history, and alternative creative outlets to Hollywood entertainment. Hand cranking meant that a tripod was essential to achieve a steady image. The first prototype was a leather covered rectangular wooden box, which evolved into a final cast aluminum box approximately 8.5" by 5" by 3", and was cranked by hand at two turns per second to achieve the necessary 16 frames per second. The Ciné-Kodak was the first 16mm camera, introduced in 1923 by the Eastman Kodak Company. It was intended to be used for home movie making.
