Spec Notes
GENERATION FOLDED IN: the Pony 135 MODEL B (1953-55), and this fold is on a hard negative rather than a judgment call - NO published hardware difference between the two could be found at any tier. Identical lens, identical shutter, identical speed set; one reviewer comparing them side by side writes that 'there is little difference between the original and Model B'. The only claimed difference anywhere is an unsourced forum remark about the film-advance spool and a cassette tension spring, which would be one dimension even if true. Kodak listed them separately and priced them separately - $34.75 and $36.75 - so this is another separately-named pair that folds on hardware. Collapsible lens tube. Weight and dimensions NOT SOURCED. DATING: NONE. The CAMEROSITY lens prefix is attested only on Ektar, Anastigmat Special and Anastar lenses. No prefixed EKTANAR or ANASTON serial could be found in Kodak literature, museum records, dealer inventory or auction text, and no source states whether those tiers are inside or outside the scheme - so this camera is NOT datable from its lens. The four-letter body date code that cheap Kodaks carry is not sourced for this model either. DATES ARE MARKET DATES, NOT PRODUCTION. Kodak's own AA-13 heads its columns 'ON THE MARKET FROM / TO', and no Kodak-published production date exists for any camera in this slice - every third-party 'production years' figure checked is a restatement of AA-13.
