A 1980s 35mm film, fake-rangefinder camera.

This style of camera is pretty similar to the Time magazine style camera. The same plastic lenses, one shutter speed with f stop combinations, made in China as inexpensive often free give away cameras. On the bottom is R.O.C. standing for Republic of China and also in raised print is “Made in Taiwan”. Along with the Time Magazine camera there is the Sports Illustrated camera, the Lynx camera, the PhotoFlex MX35, the Ultronic 35, the Franka NX-40, the Romor R-Z camera and so many more as you can see above. All these cameras use the same auto fixed focus 50mm 1:6 lens and the same general layout. In the companies mentioned above only PhotoFlex is a legitimate company having anything to do with cameras. The Franka camera is defiantly not made by the Franka Camera Company and probably named after Frank Sinatra. The camera was produced around 1985 as is most of the cameras listed.
