A specialized rigid-body instant camera designed for 100-series pack film. Produced between 1971 and 1973, it features a fixed-focus 220mm lens and a prominent Fresnel flash diffuser. The camera is iconic for its fixed focal length, requiring the photographer to move the camera body to achieve focus, and its heavy use by artist Andy Warhol.
