The duo Imperial Reflex lens 620 was a simple box camera for plastic films made by Imperial 620. There was a marked version of this camera"" OFFICIAL CHAMBER, Boy Scout of America"" Its most notable feature was a bright viewfinder to the waist (actually a visor"" Watson"" with a frosted glass plate and a hood) showing a large image and rather dim view through the lens of the viewfinder. The search engine was designed to resemble that of a TLR. The camera also had contacts with synchronized flash and durable plastic strap. In addition to the variants in black and gray and black and cream shown here, both trigger and handle red, there is also a variant in black with gray trigger and handle and faceplate in metallic gray. Although it seems comparable to, say, a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye, as it is a chamber 620 boxes with a bright finder and contact flash it is a camera slightly lower. The display is lower much quality, being quite dim, as the two lenses are of sizes and shapes completely different it is unlikely to give a good impression of focus or depth of field, so it is actually slightly better a visor mount. However, some people may appreciate the similar aesthetic to that of the TLR. The shutter also lacks a bulb exposure adjustment, being limited to a speed sync flash. That said, sometimes as cheap as you can find this camera in thrift stores and garage sales can be a good introduction to lomography. You can take 120 coils cut with less friction than a Hawkeye can (although you can not take coils without cutting at all), and every part of it is pretty tough. The shutter is quite slow, probably in the order of 1 / 50-1 / 25 second, although I grease it can increase the speed slightly. The slow shutter speed means that it is important to use a slow film for photography in bright light of day and always hold the camera very stably to prevent movement. The optimal technique to trigger the shutter is slowly squeeze the trigger until you are ready to shoot, then shoot it with the shortest and smoothest possible movement. An interesting story apart is that this is the camera used by the wife of Lee Harvey Oswald to take the famous photo of him with the rifle before John F. Kennedy murdered.
