Micro 110 camera

Micro 110 camera

Micro 110 film camera is presented most of the time as a key chain camera. Not a toy, as I have seen mentioned elsewhere, but a camera, loaded with good film, and ready to take pictures. Granted, not a Leica, but not a cardboard pinhole camera either. It can be named the 110 Lomo camera, if you like.

The 110 film cassette has been introduced by Kodak in 1972, about the same time when they came out with the Pocket Instamatic cameras. The Micro 110 is basically a plastic chassis with a plastic lens of f 8/25mm fixed in front of it, fixed focus from 1 metre to infinity, and a mechanical release button on it top plate.

The viewfinder is of folding type, a basic plastic frame swivelling from the front on top of the camera. There is no back plate, or bottom plate, only the chassis and the top plate. Everything else is the 110 cartridge.

As said, a simple camera, but a camera nonetheless.
