I’m often asked if I shoot with these. No, I do not. To me they are art. Plus - they suck as cameras. That’s why some are so rare. They were cheap, they’re fragile (many are literally cardboard), they sucked then and they suck now. They were highly decorated to draw the eye. Very few of these were used by serious photographers.
