New : the INSTAGAME
Collectors of a particular brand of photographica ,from time to time perform a stock-taking of the objects they have acquired . The very common ( and therefore cheap) items are often over-represented . Instead of disposing this superfluous material , one can also try to identify as much differences as possible ; therefore I have invented the INSTAGAME .
In the present case I analysed 5 Instamatic 100 cameras , made in England . This camera was produced from 1963-1966. I noticed variations and visualized them in the picture :
* Different text on the back side of the pop-up flashgun
* Presence or absence of a metal window around the viewer on the front
* Extra text below the opening of the battery compartment
* Different granularity of the black plastic covering
* Different finish of the front : shiny metallic vs ivory lacquered
