Chronology of cameras Fabricant inconnu 20
The Micro 110 are tiny cameras for 110 cassette. It seems that several Asian manufacturers succumbed to a passing trend. They appeared at the 1986 Photokina.
These are minimalist cameras, all made of plastic. They are fragile. Their manufacturing cost destined them to become gadgets or advertising media. Their production is Asian.
They can be found in several types:
| Made in | Misc. | ||
| Type 1 : Minimalist design. The cassette is very thinly enclosed. The viewfinder has only one frame. | |||
 |
Micro 110 | Taïwan | |
| Type 2 : The front part is complete, the cassette is only visible from the back. The viewfinder consists of two frames. | |||

In 1986, Haking filed patent No. GB 2198251 corresponding to type 3. The inventor's name is Kwok Yan Chan.
A superb viewfinder, housed under a bump reminiscent of a Leica M. The fake shutter button would have had a better effect in a distinct color. As it is, it feels a bit like a teenager had some leftover Airfix paint.
