I have acquired some Kodak 127 cameras from the Star series. The Starflex, the Starflash and the Starlet.
They use the same film box and lens while the top is different. The Dakon lens is a plastic, rather wide angle lens, a 35mm focal length equivalent, with two simple apertures, one around f11 and one around f16.
There is only one shutter speed, around 1/50th sec.
The Starflash has a large reflective disk that takes a flash lamp,
the Starflex has a waist level viewfinder that makes it look like a Twin Lens Reflex,
and the Starlet is a small point and shoot cameras.
The cameras are very simple, plastic made and consequently very cheap at their time but have a design that make them look like more capable and expensive cameras.
