patrick j dempsey Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 <img src="http://www.cosmonet.org/camera/kodak_pony.jpg"> <br><br> Looks like a Kodak Pony 135. One of the LAST cameras you would expect to see as a high fashion accessories. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_m Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 If you look carefully the camera in the photo has an accessory shoe above the viewfinder. The Pony 135 does not. Also the moulding around the lens is different. Close but no cigar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sw12dz Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I'll second Agfa Silette.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Collins Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 How interesting that a current catalog chose that classic to use as a part of their ad. That's pretty cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick j dempsey Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Andy, considering that its J.Crew and the outfit looks like it could be from the 1940s, its not that surprising really. ;) Actually some of the guys have been finding lots of modern catalog and magazine references to classics... if you look through the older posts you'll see quite a few! Honestly I think its one of those things that really never goes out of style, and what photographer doesn't have a few old favorites around that would make a great prop anyway?

ronin1 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Cool camera, but I wouldn't be caught dead in that fugly dress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_kaplan1 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I think that Agfa camera was marketed in the U.S. as the Ansco Memar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter_naylor1 Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 I'd go along with the camera being an AGFA Silette too. Dunno about the model's frock, but those french loaves in her bag look very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan flanders Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Now if there is a flask of table red in the shopping bag with those two baguettes, all that is needed is a book of verse and a shady bough! Who cares about the damned camera?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classcamera Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Hey Guys there was a national Corvette add a while back that had a woman shooting a pictue with a Kodak Retina II, holding the camera out away from her chest and looing at the back. I guess she had the special Digital LCD version! Realy though, I though of offering my services to Hollywood, and Madison ave. as a vintage camera consultant--"that camera was a post WWII model and it is 1928!" Ect.
