Just thought all the 110 film fans would get a big kick out of seeing this. The Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York City has nicely displayed in a lovely case with other objects of esteemed design, this:



In MOMA! Big time baby! Get small!

They also have a Minox Riga or whatever the original one was. And previously a Kodak Bantam by Walter Dorwin Teague, but I didn't see that one out on my last visit.

I think the "coffee can" Ikoflex easily deserves to be in their design collection. The art deco Kodak Jiffy 620 or Regent folders. Maybe the Minox 35. Any other nominations? Designs that are functional and beautiful.

I'd seriously add the Pentax 110 Zoom to that list, and the original SX-70.  Quite possibly the KW Patent Etui as well -- large format camera that will fit even a modern suit coat pocket (like the Minox 35 of 9x12 cm).  Heck, while we're at it, let's throw in a Tessina, seemingly the smallest camera ever made to use standard 35 mm film (albeit with a sub-size frame and the film in a dinky special cassette).

Oh, and they should try to find an Ermanox -- that thing had an f/1.9 lens, shooting to 6.5x9 glass plates.  In 1924.

Look and think before opening the shutter. The heart and mind are the true lens of the camera.

Yeah, I'd definitely put an SX-70 in there, but I may be biased. Maybe the OM system or Olympus XA. Maybe the Brownie Hawkeye Flash too.

The Tessina - that's a good one. They still go for a bit of change.
