Time Magazine Camera, a fake, plastic, toy camera that takes good pictures

This camera was offered to the readers of Time Magazine. It looks as a good and expensive SLR camera but in reality it is a very simple camera made of plastic, a toy camera.

 

It needs no focusing, and has a manual aperture ring with the option to choose between f/6, 8, 11, or 16.

The lens is a fixed focus 50mm with a single element. There is only one shutter speed of 1/100th sec.

Although this is a simple toy camera, it does take good pictures.

Here are some samples
