{"product_id":"10601-chrislin-insta-camera-copy","title":"1967 | Chrislin Insta-Camera","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Chrislin is an instant film camera created by Camera Corporation of America (CCoA), Hicksville, NY, as a competitor to Polaroid’s profitable “picture in a minute” market. Properly it is identified as the Chrislin Insta-Camera Model 100 but since it is the only model ever produced its simple name suffices to identify the camera. The market price for the two-toned blue molded plastic camera was about $20.00 when released in 1965 - the same price as a Polaroid Swinger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chrislin’s exterior design is basically that of a box camera with a “see-through” molded handle doubling as a viewfinder. The camera’s four exposure settings range from what is listed as “bright” through “dim light“. A lever mounted above the lens housing switches internal field stops into position behind the camera’s fixed focus lens to adjust for the settings. A plastic coated metal lever jutting from the lens housing’s right side activates the camera’s self-cocking shutter. The shutter speed sounds like a standard box camera’s approximate 1\/50 second. No information is found on the camera regarding the lens’ speed or focal length. On the left side of the camera are two holes for mounting a custom flash unit included with the camera\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/camera-wiki.org\/wiki\/Chrislin\"\u003ehttp:\/\/camera-wiki.org\/wiki\/Chrislin\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"InstantCameraList","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48497874305279,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/6732\/2879\/files\/Screenshot2025-02-28at2.25.33AM.png?v=1740680828","url":"https:\/\/instantcameralibrary.com\/products\/10601-chrislin-insta-camera-copy","provider":"instant camera library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
