kodak Vest Pocket Model B

This is the second generation of the famous Vest Pocket camera by Kodak. Its design is different from the first model and follows the classic design of the majority of foldable cameras.

The lens is a normal lens (around 50mm equivalent). There are 2 shutter positions, T (Timed) - one click of the lever opens the shutter, the next click closes it, and I (Instant) with a speed of I think 1/50sec.
The diaphagm is set by a disk and is marked 1 to 4, I believe aperture number 1 is an f/8, 2 is f/11, 3 corresponds to f/16 and 4 corresponds to f/22.

The camera needs no focusing, all subjects from 2.50m generally to Eternity will be sharp.

I received my camera in bad condinion full of dust and rust. After a cleaning it looked a lot better. As I had an 127 film I loaded the camera and got out shooting. The film inside was a Kodak Portra 160ASA color film but the lab scanned it in Black and White. From the pictures I see there is a lot of blur out of the center of the image which stays sharp. Maybe the lens needs a lot more cleaning.

Here are the pictures from the film in B/W
