Hello folks,

I hope this is the right place for this, if not, MODS, can you please move if needs be.

Well let's start...

I was tiding my nan's shed on Sunday and I came across this camera.

Now I've had a look on T'internet n can't find much about it. It has no model number, no serial, nothing really other than "prolens" "motor drive" it takes 35mm film and takes 4 AA batteries, 2 in the camera and 2 in the flash. Flash has a 90degree arc and has a thumb trigger I think.

Here are some more pics

What I'm really asking is, does anyone know anything about it?

Thanks in advance.

It looks like a kit that was sold about 20 years ago, looks like a "proper" SLR set up but in actual fact they were cheap rubbish made in Tiawan or somewhere. They took average photos no better than instamatics of the time but with a "toy" zoom lens. Real crap, sorry if this is'nt what it is but it does look like one of those rubbish kits. It might be ok but I genuinely doubt it.

Thats what it is you can tell bey the pseudo lens elements the example on the link show says focus free on it an this probably does which means it has the cheapest type of lens going. It may be worth selling as toy camera as they in fashion Lomographers I believe you may get £20 - £30 for it.
