The first version's body is styled a little like the US-made [[Kodak_Pony_828/135|Pony 828]], but with a platform around the lens barrel.

The third model has the EV scale indexed to to four [[Sunny 16|weather symbols]] by two pointers, for dark and light scenes, and another scale is added on the EV ring, below the lens, for flash use. This model is based on a body very like the [[Kodak Brownie 44A & 44B|Brownie 44A]], and has a shutter-release beside the )now larger) viewfinder objective which pressed inwards, towards the photographer. Film is now [[film advance|advanced]] by a lever. The film reminder is now on the photographer's left.
