PHOTO PACK MATIC

The first disposable camera

Patented 12 september 1966 in Lyon (patent 1.500.287), this was the first disposable camera ever made. Loaded with a 127 black and white film for 12 exposures, the camera was broken at the local photo store.

1000 samples only were made, and as the cost was 5 the price of a 127 rollfilm it wasn't a commercial success... may be it was 20 years too much early !
