Chronology of cameras Inconnue
Although different from the models listed below, this camera has enough similarities with them to conclude that they come from the same Taiwanese factory.
The layout of the controls and the spacing between them are identical to what is found on the other models. The small light meter window has the same shape, is in the same place, and the word "CdS" is written in the same characters.
Among these cameras, one explicitly bears the Premier brand, a major manufacturer from the island, and it is quite tempting to say that it is the manufacturer of all the models.
This camera exists with different brands.
They are all easily recognizable cameras by their elongated shape, with a very shaped finger rest, a rectangular, sometimes asymmetrical protuberance, around the lens.
The CdS cell indicating the need to use the flash and the sensitivity display are usually to the right of the lens. The lens is a fixfocus, 38 mm, opening at best at f/4. Sometimes it says the maximum aperture is f/3.8, but you can bet it's always the same. It is stated that the lens is from Japan, which is usually an admission of weakness for everything else.
On some models like the Toma AF35, there are two false autofocus windows, although the mention Focus Free is present.
All these cameras were probably manufactured by Premier, a major Taiwanese manufacturer, which sold little under its own name. Wecan examine the Premier PC-500. It's not the same model, but the similarities are strong.
