Throwback Edit Version: I edited this in May 2025, checked the links and converted it to the new WordPress blocks format if needed.

This is a fully manual camera from 1960. I could not find much on the net about it, though, of course, Butkus has a manual.

This junk find seemed to have taken a bit of a ding to the f/2.8 45mm lens barrel. There isn’t much to this camera. As I said, it is totally manual, with a self-timer on the side. The V and X mean V = self-timer, X= normal shooting. The R on the back is for rewind mode. Focusing is performed by looking at the small diamond in the centre of the viewfinder. And that is it. The camera is sturdy and solid…obviously, it can withstand a ding or two at some point in its life.

Here is my test roll.

Or maybe not? The first few shots were overexposed. That was my fault, not the camera. Once I got the hang of it, I think it worked very well.

Keep or Sell: Though it seems to be quite rare, it is not the camera for me. I have no attachment to it at all, so I will put it on eBay and hope for the best. Of course, it sold.
