The Kodak Pony is a 35mm film camera produced from 1950 until 1954. Cameras are a series of Bakelite bodied small format cameras designed by Arthur H Crapsey. They fit into the Kodak lineup between the roll film Brownie and the 35mm Signet series. Like the Brownie series cameras, the Pony cameras lack rangefinders and have simple viewfinders. Like the Signet series, they feature Kodak's better glass lenses, the 3 element Anastons and the four element Anastars (all with front element focusing). Also like the Signets, they have variable speed (except for the Pony II), manually cocked Kodak synchronized shutters. A shutter release/ film advance interlock (with bypass switch) prevents double exposures.
Fun Fact: The Kodak Pony 135 originally sold for $34.75 which is equivalent to approximately $268 today.
