Greetins Dimitrios,

Actually, that was one of the few Instamatic cameras that featured
adjustable lens and shutter options. It, along with the Instamatic Reflex
camera, were regarded advanced in their day. You have a nice find there.
It is worth the $15 if you are a collector. And, you can probably find
instamatic film, somewhere, if you want to experiment.

Talk to you soon.

I got great pictures from an Instamatic 42. It consistently produced
great pictures.

 

I agree.I had also an instamatic agfa when a kid, was using flashcubes, and
had two shutter settings, one for sunny, and one for cloudy weather.I don't
know what has become of it, though.

 

Since I have SLR's in 110, APS, 35mm, and 645 formats, I thought about
getting an Instamatic Reflex to round out the set. Ferrania still
makes the film, and I can even find flashcubes. But a) she who must
be obeyed isn't thrilled with the idea (something about too many
cameras), and b) those unobtainable PX-825 batteries.

 

Yes, I understand a) and of course b). I think there may still be some of
them around that will fit?

Talk to you soon,
