Mar-Crest Camera

With a name like Mar-Crest, you would think this camera was born, catching a wave, on a beautiful beach in southern Cailfornia or maybe a lovely sun-soaked island somewhere south of where we are now. Alas, she comes to us from the fair city of Chicago, Illinois. A pretty much typical half frame 127 roll film camera, she sports a mildly sturdy plastic frame. The idea is, after loading the film into the camera, you wind the film advance knob until you see the #1 in the window number 1. release the shutter and advance the film to window number 2. Repeat this procedure with exposure #2….and so on. These types of cameras inevitably create overlapping images. I try to expect this and advance the film a bit farther than the window…just a bit. A few shots taken with the Mar-Crest Camera:

Rear windows #'s one and 2.
guts.
I put a roll of Ektachrome 64 127 in the camera - expired in January 1980.

I used the "b" setting.
"Ho" was displayed in three places, but only one at a time. So I had to sit there and wait for all three "ho"s to get lit. I can't remember the last time I had to wait for 3 hos to get lit. I moved away from Detroit in 1978.
The insanely white sofa. Someone actually discarded this beauty at the beach. I considered taking it home, but it would be totally irresponsible for me to bring a discarded white sofa into our home. I mean, we foster rescue dogs, for crying out loud. White furniture is simply asking for it.
