Introduction to the Kodak Vest Pocket Autographic 127

Kodak's vest pocket 127 marked a sea change in camera design. Small and lightweight, this camera represented the first time a vest pocket camera could actually fit inside a vest pocket. Made of stamped aluminum, these cameras have withstood time well because they don't rust and resist corrosion. Perhaps the only weakness are the bellows, which do fail and get pinholes with time and use. Fun, compact, light, easy to use, and capable of high-quality results, these cameras marked the beginning of the 127 film format, a format still in limited production today (mid 2013.) Even by today's standards, these cameras can take acceptable and high-grade photos.
