Vest Pocket Kodak Strut Folding Roll Film Medium Format Camera With A blla Bearing Shutter Uses No A 127 Film Fitted With A. f/7.7 Anastigmat lens, Serviced by Kodak Limited London 1952 (stamp inside) The Vest Pocket Kodak (VPK), also known as the Soldier's Kodak, is a line of compact folding cameras introduced by Eastman Kodak in April 1912 and produced until 1934, when it was succeeded by the Kodak Bantam. Because the VPK uses 127 film, it is more compact than contemporary folding cameras using 120 film and larger sheet film formats offered by Kodak; measuring approximately 12×6.3×2.7 cm when stowed, it could be carried in a vest pocket, as the name suggests. Frank Hurley, official photographer of Sir Ernest Shackleton's 1914 Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, salvaged a VPK and three rolls of film from the sinking of the expedition ship Endurance with the loss of most of his photographic equipment. He used it to shoot 38 images of the successful return of the party to civilisation.[24] A VPK was carried during the 1924 British Mount Everest expedition and may offer proof that climbers George Mallory...
