Big Shot, no B.S.

Andy Warhol was very fond of these cameras and frequently used them to shoot models, which he would then pick out the best shot from several-hundred rejects, blow-up, and use that as a baseline for his paintings. Later he used an SX-70.

 

If not for that fact, their extremely-limited use would've probably kept prices on the bay or Craigslist down but nope - I got lucky with this one, which has a few minor cosmetic flaws, and paid about $30-ish. They average usually double that... and then you get the occasional bozos claiming to have one of Andy's-own cameras.
