Both cameras were likely give-a-ways or very cheaply sold cameras during the 1980's. The Lexxus has the feature of a sliding lens cover. The Bentley has three choices in aperture setting. The Bentley also likely has some lead added for extra weight because it is much heavier than a plastic camera should be.
The Bentley and the Lexxus fall into the category of cameras that I have only taken a few pictures with. And it is highly likely that I will not take pictures with either again. Still at least they deserve a little place in the sun, so I made a Toy Camera Gallery for photos for these two and some other cameras that fall into the same catergory. Hopefully I will add more cameras when I get the inclination.
I had a Bentley. Dad bought it for me when I was 17. I thought, and I think he did too, that it was a "real" camera -- until I got the first roll back from the processor and found the photos to all be meh. Mine might even have leaked light. Lesson learned.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first got back into film photography I got a Lexxus at thrift store but It had a different name on the front of it kineticolor 35mm I think it was called.
