This camera is one of the cheaper models with plastic body and a simple
meniskus plastic lens, the first one sold in biggest numbers. It was
built from 1965 to 1970 and had quite a success until the Pack 100 film
was launched.
The features:
Lens: Meniscus (single element, plastic) Shutter: Single speed rotary, everset, 1/200 second Flash: built-in flashgun for AG-1 bulbs Exposure setting assisted via built-in photometer* Fixed focus Rigid white plastic body Takes 20 type roll film

Earlier production models have both "YES" and "NO" indications in the
finder. Later ones have a plain checkerboard 'reference' screen on the
photometer, thus indicating proper exposure with only the "YES" message.
