Along the years, some cameras found their way to me, but I’ll be blasted if I remember where from or why I got this one. I was not an avid user of 110 film format, although I did enjoyed at some point my Pentax Asahi 110 cameras and lenses. I also remember trying to reload these damn carties with my own clit film, but nothing came out of it, so I banished all my 110 cameras, and (stupid me) sold the entire Pentax 110 kit.
Anyways, for what is worth, this camera (and some others of its ilk) is in my storage, and I thought to give it an airing. Loaded it with some long expired Kodak 110 and shot it in various places. When the film will come back rom the lab, I’ll show it here, if anything worth of showing that is.
This is a very simple 110 film format camera, taking 110 cartridges, with film frame of 13x17mm. It was produced in Germany between 1976-1978. Lens is a 25mm/f11 Reomar, coated. The shutter has two speeds only, set by the top plate switch (cloudy and sunny). Film advance is by means of a pushing tab, underneath the camera.
There is a slide over the lens for protection, once the cover is on, it locks the shutter button. The hinged film door is on the back of the camera, you just drop in the cartridge when changing film. There is no battery, camera is completely mechanical in its functions. The viewfinder is clear with bright lines, and it also informs you by means of a red tab that the bulb is burned. Because yes, it takes a flash adapter for flash cubes.
