Does anybody know what this is used for. I've got one but don't know how to use it or what it's used for.
Thanks, Steve

These were novelty cameras from post-war Japan. In the early 1960's I bought one on the boardwalk of Atlantic City, NJ for $1.99 including a couple rolls of film. Earlier models used 17.5mm film, but the one I bought used 16mm film. I was able to develop it in a Yankee Clipper II film tank. Not surprisingly, the pictures were only okay with bright daylight, after all, it was just a fixed focus, fixed aperture, fixed shutter speed camera, and the film was generally ISO100 or less to keep the grain down on the tiny negatives.

This is a quote from CameraWiki.org ---"One of the most successful models was the Hit, made by the Tougodo company based in Toyohashi. Its name became the synonym for that camera type, at least in the Western world, where the various other Japanese cameras with a similar design are called "Hit"-type cameras."
