MINOX 35GT
PRODUCT ID:SF.100713
OVERVIEW
The Minox 35 GT, introduced in 1981, continued Minox’s successful range of 35mm compact cameras, reputedly the smallest full-frame 35mm cameras ever made. The lens retracts into the camera body when closed, fully opening the cover activates the battery. Exposure is automatic, aperture priority. Different models in the Minox 35 range were identified by shutter release buttons in differing colours: the GT is easily identified by its yellow shutter release button.
The GT improved features of its predecessors, the EL and the GL. It introduced an electronic self-timer, with a flashing LED above the camera’s name. Another improvement on the previous models is the siting of the cable release socket to the side of the shutter release button, to prevent accidental triggering of the shutter.

KODAK BROWNIE HAWKEYE FLASH
PRODUCT ID: MF.100823
OVERVIEW
This camera has got Americana written all over it. Nearly every family in the U.S. had one for those snapshots to document trips over the new national freeway system. Not much to operating this one…look thru the waist-level finder, and push the shutter release…rewind till the next number comes up in the red window in the back. It’s a bakelite box for sure, but Kodak did its best to dress it up, adding waves across the side to give it a streamlined look, and something to grip. It’s a good looking camera for its time and it makes good pictures too.
Earlier Hawkeyes accept the slightly larger 120 spools readily. If yours don’t, you can easily trim 120 spools like this.

IHAGEE EXA 1C
PRODUCT NUMBER: SF.100708
OVERVIEW
The EXA Ic was a late re-edition of Ihagee’s SLR body Exa Ib. It was produced from 1985 to 1987. The “c” expresses that this EXA had been produced by Certo. While most of the Exa’s share their lens mount with the Exakta’s, the Ic has a 42mm screw mount. This enables you to use a wide variety of M42 lenses.
The Exa has a remarkable shutter: there are no curtains, but two rotating cylinders, one of which is fixed to the mirror. When you press the shutter button, the mirror goes up, thus opening the shutter. After the time set the second cylinder rotates to close it again. When you cock the shutter, both cylinders are placed in the original position.
Another interesting feature of this exa is that by half depressing the shutter button, the diaphragm closes. So each time you fire, you get a depth of field preview.

REVUE 35CC
PRODUCT ID: SF.100714
OVERVIEW
A close cousin to the Lomo LC-a and Minox 35, the Revue 35cc is a small, pocketable camera. It has a quirky lens door system that opens and closes by cranking the advance lever. It is easy to use, running on scale focusing and program AE auto-exposure.
Probably manufactured by Chinon (Japan) for Foto-Quelle.
Although a close clone to the Chinon Bellami, there are minor design modifications:
The advance lever is curved vs straight on the Bellami.
The trigger is black on the 35cc vs chrome on the Bellami.
The top of the hood that covers the rewind button has a totally different design.
The leatherette 35cc has a regular grain vs a fine grain faux leather on the Bellami

PENTI HALF-FRAME
PRODUCT ID: SF.100818
OVERVIEW
With this camera you’ll always feel dressed up. It’s the perfect camera to bring to a party as an accessory to that little black dress. Comes in silver or gold-colored metal body and different colors of enamel frame.
Penti II uses the obsolete rapid cassettes but you can load 35mm film into those empty cassettes. The cassettes are only designed to hold 12 full frames (or 24 Penti shots), sometimes you can squeeze 24 into one – the older and more curvy the film is, the easier it goes, sometimes it’s a bit of a struggle. Loading the canister is simple, but a bit bothersome – just push as much film into it as possible. Don’t forget to cut off the lead and round the corners on both ends of the film to make it run smoothly. More information here.
