Have about 30 assorted VPK's with boxes, instructions, accessories, etc. and have found very useful info regarding the original strut models. However, a significant number of my remainder are "Model B". They each seem to be a little different in some aspect. Who will clue me in? Is there a good web site or a person you know who has written the book? OR---Shall I start my own site claiming to be an expert and let myself learn from all the respondants telling me what an idiot I am? |

What I remember about vest pocket kodaks were that they used 127 film, the model B format was 6x4.5cm, almost industructible bb shutter, soft focus image, production time frame was somewhere about 1912 on to about 25 or so there were also some deluxe models later on with better shutter lens combos..you can corner the market especially with them in boxes, wow..I also believe 127 b&w is still made in europe. I hope all those bellows are good....Don |

Have recently found a very good reference to most things VPK. As usual for me there are examples I never have seen or even herd about. My 'collection' represents only about 10% of the possibilities. How about VPK's with focusing Zeiss and B&L lenses and quality shutters? |

In my web I have a Vestpoket that I have restored.
Have a look.
If you need patterns to redo the bellows, I still have them.

You are not going to find autographic film, but you can still finf 127 film. Look for EFKE on the web. |
