Film Friday: The 10 quirkiest compact film cameras that made it to production

All points and corners… the Olympus Ecru (Pic: Hiyotada/Wikimedia Commons) For this week’s installment of Film Friday, we’re highlighting a fun little list from Kosmo Foto that looks at the ten quirkiest compact film cameras to ever go into production.

For the list, Kosmo Foto founder Stephen Dowling turns the spotlight on a motley crew of 35mm film cameras made from the 1980s onwards. As noted by Dowling, all of the cameras in the list were production cameras—‘no weird concepts [or] novelty/toy cameras. ’

Almost no major camera manufacturer of the time was spared from the list, aside from Nikon, so head on over to Kosmo Foto to see what crazy models made the list:
