Imperial Camera: Six-Twenty

Postby bill339 » Sun Dec 20, 2020 11:28 am

The 1964 Imperial Six-Twenty snapshot camera was made in the USA. It’s almost completely plastic, right down to its little plastic handle. The camera is 2 3/4" wide 3 1/8" deep and 3 3/8" tall (not including the optical viewfinder). There are absolutely no settings to have to fiddle with on this camera. No "b" setting, no sunny / cloudy...nothing. There are two little clips on the sides of the camera that swing aside and the back comes off to expose the film compartment. It takes 12 square 2 ¼ x 2 ¼ inch images on six-twenty film with about a 28mm lens. The leaf shutter is about 1/50 of a second and a round red window in the back is the frame counter using the numbers on the paper backed film. The camera came in three colors of mint green with green film advance wined knob plus shutter release and handle, white with light grey film advance wined knob plus shutter release and handle, and black with red film advance wined knob plus shutter release and black handle.
