context_page_description: The Kodak Pony camera was introduced with the 828 model in 1949 as the first in a series of six Kodak Pony cameras which was produced until 1959. While the initial version of this camera used paperbacked 828 film, the five later versions were adapted to use 35mm 135 film. The cameras were designed by Arthur H. Crapsey.
  The Pony had a four-speed 'Flash 200' shutter, an Anaston 51 mm f/4.5 triplet lens, and a fitted leather case. The body was made of bakelite, which was a very common camera body material at that time. Focus was achieved by estimation and use of a depth-of-field scale on the face of the shutter assembly. A flash attachment could be connected to the shutter by way of an ASA post-style connector. The shutter was manually armed--rather than being automatically cocked when the film was advanced after the previous shot, as in more modern cameras.
  Kodak Pony 828 - 1949
  Kodak Pony 135 - 1950
  Kodak Pony 135 Model B - 1953
  Kodak Pony 135 Model C - 1955
  Kodak Pony II - 1957
  Kodak Pony IV - 1957
  The first three cameras had tubular collapsible lenses similar to the early 35mm cameras of the early 1930s.
