INTRODUCTION

The Kodak Pony 135 is a 35mm film viewfinder camera made in USA between 1950 and 1954.


BEST SUITED FOR:


Good for nothing!

PERSONAL NOTES

The Kodak Pony 135 is simply designed, it has cheap components, optical quality is not the best, it feels like "the camera of the people".

Simple to use (for the fifties), you had to remember to cock the shutter before taking a photo, and unlocking the advance before winding the film. There was no multiple exposure prevention on that design.

Pony cameras were popular and are still very easy to find.


CONCLUSION

If you are interested about the history of cameras or about using old cameras, this is a cheap one you can add to your collection.
