"Satellite" HIT Camera
Manufactured after WWII in Japan by various companies. This is an example of this very popular novelty subminiature camera. It uses a 17.5mm, paper-backed film. The “HIT” was possibly the first, but definitely the most popular and gave it’s name for this group of cameras. The “Satellite” is a fine example of this type of camera. Despite their overall similarity, there are many subtle differences from camera to camera in this class that make the very collectable—including some collectors who only collect this type.
