Vintage MEIKAI EL camera





I do no know whether this camera is working or not.(never tested).But it is great for a gift or keep as a display item.
Price:RM120

Meikai EL, introduced in 1963, by Togodo. Togodo was a minor japanese camera manufacturer, and this camera was not arrived so many on the market.

This camera has 50mm lens, and the aperture setting is a three-step ring (for bright light, medium light, poor light indicated by pictographs on the ring). Both side of the viewfinder window on the front is not the exposure meter window but just the decoration.
