Kodak Pony 828

The Kodak Pony 828 camera was made from 1949 until 1959.

It featured a retractable lens mount with a four speed Flash 200 shutter and Anaston 51 mm f/4.5 triplet lens and came with a fitted leather case. The body was made of bakelite, which was a very common camera body material at that time and while the initial version of this camera used 828 film, the four later versions were adapted to use 135 film. Focus was achieved by estimation and the use of a depth of field scale on the face of the shutter assembly and a flashbulb holder could be connected to the shutter by way of an ASA post. The shutter was manually armed rather than being automatically cocked when the film was advance as in more modern cameras.
