That's wonderful, you could put it on a table in a restaurant and casually snap away. Except the smoking police would be harassing you. |

The Russian's made both Vega 16mm and Kiev 303 16mm cameras in this disguise, (various brands!!) and Whittaker(US) in the 1950's did their spy cameras in such cigarette pack casings.
I think Players, (UK), did a promotional 110 camera in the black pack finish in about 1976 to promote the Players Lotus F1 motorsport team, and earlier had done a 126 in the same livery.

Yes you may! A fellow at the flea market has a Konica I model in very nice working condition. He won't go any lower than 40 USD for it. If I can make enough on this one, it will help offset the cost. That's how I work Doug |

Here's an update for those interested.
I sold it, and got 35 dollars for it, more than enough to offset the cost of the Konica.
Life is GOOD!!!

Doug That's about how much a pack of real cigarettes costs in New York City and Chicago now. Glad I quit six years ago. Couldn't afford to smoke nowadays. W. |

There were a couple of similar cameras in original blister packs on Ebay a few days ago, they have the same release and viewfinder position.
