N°72 : Signal Experience

This is the perfect example of a cheap promotional camera. The camera takes 4 pictures on a print with a small delay between the 4 exposures. This camera was bought togheter with a toothbrush, and 2 tubes of toothpaste for the price of 5 Euro, in a very nicely plastic made packaging. The Lomographic Society International sales the Actionsampler for 30 Euro. The case is closed, I prefer to brush my theets.
Free, Oostende, Belgium.

N°71 : Agfa Silette

Does Silette means "silly" and "small", I don't think so, it's a serious camera, with the legendary Apotar lens and Pronto shutter.
Bought for 4 Euro, Vlissegem, Belgium.

N°70 : Dacora Dignette

Gold coating on the viewer.
Digne means in french : fit, worthy, dependable, praiseworthy, reliable, trustworthy, dignified,...and ette is to make it smaller. So just combine both words and find out yourself the Dacora Dignette.
Bought for 5 Euro, Menen, Belgium.

N°69 : Canon Prima AS-1

When you encounter a shark and you d'like to take a picture of it, in your tropical divingtrip, be aware that the red circle around the objective could been seen by the fish as an agression. Especially the whitesharks are sensible to this. In their manual, Canon should mention it.
Bought for 6 Euro, Oostende, Belgium.

N°68 : Aires Viscount

This noble Japanese has a High Coral 45mm 1/1,9 lens, pretty nice one they said.
The parallax finder has a golden coating, they said.

N°67 : Fujica ST-901

I didn't have much inspiration for this one, so this are the lyrics of the song I listened when publishing the cam :
I'm gonna put on a iron shirt, and chase satan out of earth
I'm gonna put on a iron shirt, and chase the devil out of earth
I'm gonna send him to outa space, to find another race
I'm gonna send him to outa space, to find another race
Max Romeo

N°66 : Olympic Zenit TTL

The logo is dated 1980 for the Games of the XXII Olympiad. Boycotted by the USA and 60 other countries as a reaction for the war in Afghanistan. But it didn't helped a lot, it's still war there.
The camera could be used in weightlifting or hammerthrow.
Bought for 7 Euro, Oudenburg, Belgium.

N°65 : Konica Autoreflex TC

When you have a Hexanon lens with a Konica-mount it's worth a cent, if the same glass has a Leica-M then it's very expensive. Save on money and keep the quality : throw your Leica away and use poor-men's Autoreflex.

Do the designer of Bilora really find this one beautiful "Bella" and luxurious "Luxa"?

Ugly is : the leatherette, the flash flash-unit, the trigger, the color-combination, the name of the lens "Biloskop", the size of the camera...
If you know Tintin, then the camera is made for "La Castafiora".

N°61 : Yashica Junior

I think the J stands for junior, or beginners model. This means, that you have to buy a lightmeter, measure the lightintensity, report it to your camera : f/ and speed setting, get it sharp en shoot,... Junior is on the way to be a professional.
