A pocket camera from the GDR. It has the same image size as the usual pockets, but sadly it uses a different cassette size and transportation system. So until I can get some old film - no examples. The lens is fixfocus with fixed aperture (8). Four weather settings according to the shutter speeds 1/30-60-125-250 can be chosen. The camera has a real B-setting and a standard hot shoe. Nice features, but the film ... Update: I removed the lens and built a snapshot lens for my Lumix G1: Photos are here: Pentacon 27mm

Canon 110ED

Canon showed in 1975 what could be packed in a 142 x 28 x 56mm-sized camera body. A 2/26mm lens, an aperture-priority AE, a date imprint function and a rangefinder made it a high-end camera for film 110. My camera has a dysfunctional AE which seems to fire the shutter with only one speed, but the manual aperture setting makes it a useable camera. The only existing 110-film is the Solaris 200, but my examples were shot on expired Superia 200.
