Little Ugly Revisited

[Doug T.]

Hi All!
A while back I posted a photo of a camera that "looked like it was beaten with an ugly stick". Since then, I've taken to calling it
"Little Ugly".
I've found that Little Ugly has quite a few relatives that look like him. Sort of like the red-neck with the family tree that doesn't branch

Turns out he's a Great Wall PF-1.
I bought this one NEW, in the box, for the grand total of 4 US Dollars. Now he doesn't feel all alone anymore!
It is a SLR, believe it or not, it's true, and I'm quite smitten with it.
Now I suppose I'll start keeping an eye open for his cousins, that's just how I am! He's related to the Fujica ST-F, Nagai SRF, Yumica RFX-1, and the Hanimex 35 Reflex Flash.
Life is good ;D

Doug,

I think you are a bit too hard on Little Ugly.

True he is a little lop sided but he is - subdued, not at all garish.

I would say he is modest and unassuming. Probably a trifle shy.

Poor little guy. So far from home.

A new SLR for 4 US Dollar ? Not bad 40 mm lens ? Nice walk around camera.

Doug,

I also dont think that this ia an ugly one. Great find !

Sorry to post late on this.

Ugly or not, USD four dollars for a PF-1 isn't a bad buy at all.

Over here, a PF-1 will go for anywhere from CNY 150-300 (approx. USD 23-46).

The Great Wall - a nice walk around camera? Do you know how big the Great Wall of China is? A long walk around camera needed, perhaps

It would be nice to have something like this im my collection. It is simple and strait forward like those Time Life rangefinders. ;D
