Context

Country: Unknown
State/Province: Unknown
Period: Unknown
Canada: The Pony 828 was issued the first camera in the Pony series of 35mm cameras. In addition it was the last camera to be sold for 828 film, the Bantam RF camera having been the first (McKeown, 121-122). It was aimed at a lower end consumer market than most 35mm cameras. Kodak Canada was founded by Eastman Kodak in 1899 in a Toronto shop where employees cut sheet film and fitted lenses on cameras to support the growing potential for a photographic market in Canada. As Canadian interest in photography grew, the company expanded across the country throughout the 20th century to produce in all aspects of photography including still and movie cameras, film, x-ray film, photocopy paper, and photographic chemicals under many popular names including Brownie, Kodacolor, Carousel, and Supermatic.
Function: To record still images on photographic film.
Technical: A telescoping front camera that produced 28 X 40 mm images on 828 film using a Kodak Anaston f4.5 lens and a Kodak Flash 200 shutter (McKeown, 121-122). 828 was a paper back rollfilm on 35mm stock but lacked the standard perforations and frame size of the 135 35mm format.
