Access to the main body is possible by removing the the thin back panel with a leather strap that slides up alongside the leather bag as well by pressing a button on the edge opposite the leather bag, allowing the front panel to pop open.

The one marked with a small strip of green fabric is meant for “KODAK EXTACOLOR Professional Type S (Short Exposure),” the one marked with the red fabric is meant for “KODAK EKTACHROME Film 6116, Type B (Process E-3),” and the one marked with the white fabric is meant for “KODAK TRI-X PAN SHEET FILM (ESTAR Thick Base).” The individual slides housed inside the magazine with the green fabric may have unprocessed fogged negatives still in them.

- Description
- Empty cardboard box of Kokak Solio Toning and Fixing Powder cartridges with manufacturer and product details printed throughout the white box in red and black. Toning powders were chemical compounds designed to react with the emulsion layers of positive photographs that altered the tone (or colour) of the image, usually turning a standard black-and-white image into warmer shades of red, brown, and/or purple - sepia is a very common tone. Additionally, toning powders could be combined with a fixing agent that stabilized the emulsion layer to prevent it breaking down or fading, flaking off, or otherwise ruining the image as it set.
