I got this free from my dad, he got it from my grandmother's house, and it was my grandfather's camera. I do not think he ever used it. It is the lowest of the low kind of camera, he got it for going to one of those time-share things in the 80s. I am posting it, so there is a permanent record of the WX-3 for all to see. Pic:  |

Actually these are among the style I pick up for some of my Toy Camera forums, I have about a dozen or so.

Cool! The neat thing about the WX-3 is that they portrayed this camera as serious..lol

Too funny...I picked up the WX-7 a couple of months ago.  I had heard about some of these plastic cameras actually having lead weights placed inside of them. Saw this one on eBay and the seller described it as "feels expensive" as in heavy. Figured it must be one of the lead weight ones and I got it and opened it. Yes, it is  Too funny. Takes pretty mediocre pics, but is a funny collectors piece. I prefer my Time Magazine cam for picture taking. |

You can't beat those "Optical" lenses for serious work.
And the lead ballast in the bilge will be a great help in steadying the camera.

I saw a Bentley there. My optical camera is a bourgeois Ford, although it has an advanced Color Lens and a handle grip.  |

;D Hey, that Ford model is just like my Time Magazine:  Think like the Diana cameras, that the Time Magazine style ended up with countless names on it. Maybe we can contract the company to put our own names on them!  I love these crazy little plastic cameras. I've shot with a few of them but only a handful actually have any redeeming qualities at all. I'm afraid that even lead ballast and all, I don't like shooting with the Weston...but I love to shoot with my Time Magazine camera! |
