Chronology of cameras Ginfax
In 2008, this camera was still listed in the manufacturer's catalog with the reference NC950 E or NC951 I (with flash). The website screenshots are dated August 12, 2008. The catalog references from 2008 are not exactly identical to those appearing on the cameras.
It is a camera called a "message camera," meaning it was intended to be customized with a sticker provided by the customer to turn it into an advertising medium.
It is equipped with a 9.5/27 mm lens. A small lever above the camera allows you to move two internal covers that mask the top and bottom of the negative. The useful negative format becomes 13 x 36 mm. When printed, two black bands appear and must be cut. As a result, the photo has a much wider width-to-height ratio than the original 24 x 36 and produces a panoramic effect.
This model is easily recognizable by the wavy cut of the sliding cover that protects the lens. It has a fixed focus lens. The film rewind crank is located under the device. Basic, it only requires a battery for the flash.
A patent filed in 2001 by Ginfax Development Limited shows the characteristic silhouette of this model. The patent pertains to an additional filter system for obtaining composite photos.
Reader's Digest is known for using low-end cameras as welcome gifts for new subscribers.
