A little late, but I also wanted to wish everyone a great start to 2017!

I hope to burn up a lot more film this year. I just got an old Kodak Pony 135 up and running, and picked up a Nikon N90s and a Chaika 1 half-frame camera. Nothing like starting out the year with a few more neat toys!

I took a Pony out a time back.

LOL. Yeah, the Pony IV is actually a pretty sweet little camera. I shot a bunch of slides with one back around 2006/2007, and they looked fantastic. That f3.5 Anastar lens works really well. It has some softness in the corners at some apertures and distance settings, but it's still a great little lens.

The Kodak Pony that I just fixed up is the original Pony 135 model with the 51mm f4.5 Anaston lens. Going by the serial number, it was actually one of the first few made (it's numbered like 2,000 something).

That's great. I have 2 one needs some TLC so I may go inside it someday. The other is an II.
