This camera, introduced in 1968, is very compact for its time (100x64x43 mm). It is also heavy (390 grams).
Another originality is its focusing, which is done by turning a serrated wheel situated at the back of the camera, which moves the lens (2.8/40) back and forth. The distance is indicated simultaneously in the viewfinder, in meters and in feet. The viewfinder is collimated. A match needle CdS meter indicates proper exposure in the viewfinder (1/15th to 1/250th sec).
In 1970, in the Natkin catalog, the chrome version was worth 760 francs and the black version 800 francs.
