A Very Cool Hip Camera... The Comet.
The Comet is an Italian camera made in the 50's by Bencini, looking like an SLR but really it has a fixed aperture and shutter so was a sort of precursor to point-and-shoots and is more along the line of Holgas and Annys, though it is not plastic but cast aluminum.
