"Anny F" Camera

This is the "Anny F" camera. It is a simple, cheap plastic, medium format camera which is a clone of the classic Diana F.

 

Like the Diana, the body of the Anny is made entirely out of a thin, brittle plastic which gives the camera a very light but flimsy feel. The camera features a simple single element plastic lens, plastic advance knob, and a metal hot shoe for a flash attachment. The camera has an adjustable focus from 4ft to infinity, two shutters speeds ("Instant" and "Bulb"), and three selectable aperture settings for "sunny", "partly-sunny", and "overcast" conditions. The camera also uses standard 120 film and produces sixteen 6x4cm frames on the negative.

 

Like other Lomography cameras such as the Holga, the Anny F is also prone to light leaks and its low-quality plastic lens creates a soft focus in pictures with a noticeable vignetting around the edges.

 

I have not been able to find much information on this camera in regards to when it was made and its manufacturer. However, one website I found claims it was made in the mid-1960s and possibly by the Hoei Sangyo Y.K. Company of Japan.
