"This lens was removed from a Kodak Vest Pocket Autographic camera, which was first released during the peak of WW1," says photographer Tom Calton to the Phoblographer in an interview. "It's small size and simple operation meant that, for the first time, just about anyone could document their lives through photography.

It also meant that it was a common choice for soldiers heading off to war, as they could quite easily sneak them onto the front lines and use them without drawing too much attention. " Tom created a series of images using just this lens attached to his Sony a7 IV all for Remembrance Sunday 2023. Why this lens? Well, it comes from his affinity for history. . thephoblographer.com
