I just got one at the Goodwill for $10. It didn't even need to have the lens cleaned. The case was flawless. I just ran my 1st roll of kentmere 400 through it and wow! the negatives are crisp and sharp. I will scan them tonight. Even the 1/25 of a second worked and tested real close to right on. I have discovered that seams to be rare with those old shutters. Great camera
You just have to remember what ISO film you put in it and set your shutter and aperture accordingly using Sunny 16 or an external light meter. It does sort of have an ISO dial but instead of numbers it just lists some films that were around back then such as Kodachrome and plus x. The dial doesn't do anything it's just there to remind you what you put in it.
Not a camera expert but I’d suppose after you shoot the film the first time around, you wind it up just enough to get the exposed film back in the canister, then place it back in the camera just as you did the first time to ensure you have them all lined up! Hope that’s right, maybe someone else can confirm for you.

Nice video , keep up the reviews. Can you review a Minolta or Nikon for the boys ?
I love Minolta! If I can find one I shall :)
Hi! Very good video! Thanks!! What kind of film do you recommend? I have never used a film camera.
All in all, a very good product.Thank you so much brother.Keep up the good work.
Does the INF on the kodak pony 135 made to shoot widerange landscape photos?
I have a rangefinder I can hold in my hand that is good for determining the proper focusing distance. I find it's reasonably accurate.
Thank you for recommendation! Great video!
Great Review Brother!! Will buy this one.
Very good video. How do you set the ISO on that beast ?
