Anasuma and Co était un groupe japonais, tout à fait sérieux, fabricant pendant plus de 80 ans, des accessoires d'optiques. Au milieu des années 80, cette firme sortit une série de mini 110 gadgets dénommés Torel.
The Kodak Ektra 200 is among many 110 film cameras made by Kodak. It used disposable flip-flash for indoor photography, was made in (West) Germany, and was produced from 1980 to 1987.
110 film is still available, but flip-flash is not.
The Kodak Instamatic 92 is a fixed-focus camera for 110 film. It has a sliding lens cover. It is a fixed-exposure model, which used magicubes for indoor photography. But while 110 film survives as a niche format, magicubes haven't been made for years.
It was produced between 1974 - 1976.

The Kodak Ektra 22-EF was produced between 1978 and 1980. It takes the 110 film format that was popular at the time and survives as of 2016 as a niche format. It had sunny/cloudy exposure settings, a bright-line viewfinder, a built-in flash, and was made in Germany.
For the vast majority of people who take pictures and don't want to be encumbered with all the technicalities, an equally vast number of cameras have been designed. One problem was the loading of film which often entailed routing film or paper backing leaders over rollers and into fiddly slots. The 110 cassette was designed to overcome this, simply being dropped into the back of the camera. Cameras making use of this film were generally very simple indeed, literally being point and press. The negative size of 13 x 17mm was rather limiting and exposure control was either very basic or relied upon the films wide latitude to achieve a result - which were often rather grainy. The Kodak Ektra 22-EF is not un-typical of the breed, being very limited in functions....and quite sizable compared to the negative it produces.
Sunny/cloudy exposure settings, a bright-line viewfinder which shows the selected exposure setting, and a built-in electronic flash feature on this camera. When the handle is closed, the flashgun is automatically switched off. This camera was made in Germany.
Agfa was one the first manufacturers of cameras to follow Kodak after the launching of the 110 film.
Agfa is one of some to propose cameras and 110 film.
The 110 film declination of the 126 film instamatic despite a lot of hope and some beautiful machines (Pentax Auto110, Rollei A 100) has completely disappeared now complete. The Disc film and after APS film replaced it. APS film is itself now on the decline.
The family of Agfamatic pocket is characterized by a very good manufacture, they comprise all a tripod socket, which serves to screw the strap, an orange resilient pad - the 'sensor' and destined for minimize the moved, one of defects of 110 camera
The film is advanced Minox-style (Minox B and C) by pushing the end of the camera in and out - the moving body section also extends around the front to protect the lens & viewfinder.
The body is mainly black plastic, with a few metal components both internally and externally - the body end & cover section is in brushed aluminum, with a couple of extra aluminum trims on the main body.
The shutter and speed switch are on the top panel, and a slide-lock to hold the body closed when not in use.
Le 4000 est très proche du 2000 et du 3000. Son objectif est plus lumineux (Apotar 6,3/26mm). Les pictogrammes météo sont remplacés par des dessins représentant un paysage, deux personnages ou une personne. Comme sur le 3000, la petite fenêtre présentant ces petits dessins affiche aussi une échelle de distance (en caractères bleus), lisible en pieds ou mètres et qui n'a d'intérêt que lorsque un flash est utilisé.
Par défaut, cet appareil est destiné à utiliser des flashcubes.

Foto-Quelle of Nuremberg, Germany, was a large retailer of camera and photographic equipment. It sold a variety of film cameras and other optical instruments (such as binoculars) produced by other manufacturers under the Revue and Revueflex brands. Those manufacturers included most notably the japanese companies Chinon and Cosina, as well as the Russian state-owned KMZ factory, most prominently several cameras of their Zenit line. In the 60s Foto-Quelle also distributed Petri and Konica cameras under the Revue brand, which are much rarer today.
Foto-Quelle was originally founded in 1957 as a subsidiary of the large retailer and mail-order house Quelle, Foto-Quelle became Europe's largest photographic retailer by 1966 and in 1970, the world's largest. Usually twice a year a popular, rich illustrated catalog was published, not only in Germany, but also in the Netherlands, France, Belgium, Austria, Italy, USA and Switzerland.
In 1999 Quelle merged with the Karstadt Warenhaus AG (a department store chain) into the KarstadtQuelle AG. In 2009 the holding of that group, 2007 renamed as Arcandor, has fallen into bankruptcy. The business unit Foto Quelle and the brand Revue were acquired by the ORWO Net GmbH[2]. ORWO Net itself is a part of the former Filmfabrik Wolfen (Orwo). Today Foto Quelle is a service provider for photoprints, photo books, calendars, etc.
