In 1985 Fuji replaced the GW 670 with the GW 670 II. The original launched in the late 1970s, and the GW 670 II improves on the original but is more of a refinement than a radical new version. The GW line was fixed-lens alternatives to the Fuji’s interchangeable-lens GM line.

The Nikon FG was introduced in 1982 as the successor to the Nikon EM. Like the EM, the FG was targeted at the amateur photographer. The smaller size, automated shooting options and lower price made it a more approachable option than the professional F3 or even the mid-range FM lines.

The Holga 120 Pan appears to have launched in 2011. The 120 Pan answers the question: “What if we make a Holga that eats film twice as fast as before?” Don’t worry, they did not fix anything or add more controls or upgrade the quality. No, they just made it bigger. At least wider. Much wider.

The Olympus - Pen EE-3 was introduced in 1973 as the continuation of the Olympus half-frame cameras. It replaced the Pen EE-2 and added more flash support. The Pen series of half-frame cameras were introduced in 1959. The EE series started in 1962 as the amateur level versions.

I shot this M3 DS with a unique lens. It is a 50mm f2.0 dual range (DR). The DR is both a standard 50mm lens plus a close focus lens.

Introduced in 1988 and sold until the F5 launched in 1997, the Nikon F4 was intended as the professional level auto-focus Nikon.

The Hexar RF was introduced in 1999 by Konica as a Leica M alternative. The RF is an M-mount rangefinder like the Leica M line but with modern features.

This may look like the Canon 7s, because it is, but at the same time it is not a standard 7s. This one has a surprise.

In 1965, Canon updated the Canon 7 as the Canon 7s. The 7s was produced for two years and had a run of approximately 16,000 units.

Introduced in 1970 and in production until 1994 the Hasselblad 500 C/M was the Volvo 240 of the camera world. Like the 240 the Hasselblad is Swedish and “boxy but good”.

Ilford HP5 disposable. Just what you would expect, good film with a crap lens packaged to go.

The Fujica GA was a zone focus camera sold by Fujifilm presumable in the mid 1970s. Other than a copy of the manual, I was unable to find much about this compact.

In 1957 Kodak AG of Stuttgart, West Germany, introduced the Retina Reflex. The Retinal Reflex was an interchangeable lens SRL system. The Reflex lens mount continued for several additional models after the Reflex. At introduction there were two lens options. This one has the Schneider Xenon C 50mm f2.0.

In production from 1958 to 1961, the Canon P was intended to be a camera with mass market appeal. At almost 88,000 units, it was the most popular Canon rangefinder to that point.

The Olympus Pen FT was in production between 1966 and 1972. It was the second in a series of three Pen F, half-frame SLR cameras.

Produced between 1966 and 1976, the Leica MDa was a Leica M body without a viewfinder. The MDa was specifically intended for the medical, scientific and industrial use with a stand, microscope or the Visoflex attachment.

In 1998 Hasselblad and Fujifilm released a camera that was like nothing else.

The WOCA 120 GF was made by Holga. It was different than the standard Holga because it had a glass lens and a flash. The WOCA name was eventually dropped and this model became the Holga 120 GFN.

In 1980, Nikon introduced the Nikonos IV-A. The Nikonos group of cameras was derived from the Calypso, a French underwater camera. With the IV-A, Nikon introduced a new design rather than a derivative interaction of the Calypso.
