To accept that this is okay and retro and cool and not facile and fashionable

Toy Bling that's not 50cent

Well it will make someone happy to have one of these under the tree at Christmas I guess

The gold means it's professional right?

Flippy, I think you are onto something there, well spotted!

Good Grief!! What ever next?? Sorry but it's all a bit too Gangsta Rappa for my liking. Send one to 50 pence or what ever he's called!

Yo Homies!
I have the urge
to splurge
paying for plastic
with plastic
I'm tha golden boy
who needs a shiny toy
word.

Just trying to make sense of it all... still, I feel I'm missing a few things.
It's probably related to the fact I can't wear baggy jeans without suspenders by simple fear they're going to fall to the ground...

Woof, I hope that's for a girl.

Don't know... the LL Cool J part of my brain suddenly broke after seeing the excess of pink in the picture above

I think the gold Rectaflex beats them all: http://www.flickr.com/photos/askamel/378379957/#in/photostream

I think the gold Rectaflex beats them all:

Bling aside, did anyone else see the humour in the name 'rectaflex'? what else? Sphinctaflex? Colon-o-matic?

very funny for someone with my puerile sense of humour.

Sphinctro-Compur?

Scatological humor will always have a place.

Thanks Flippy - can you believe it???:

Also, Pete:

Sphinctro-Compur

sphincter-shutter comparisons? very apt.

Flippy · « **Reply #17 on:** December 03, 2011, 03:12:06 AM »

Actually, I don't think I can believe there was a camera named "Baby Colon" - despite photographic proof.

It's just a bit past the realm of believability.

Im still waiting on a carbon-fiber special edition!

Francois · « **Reply #19 on:** December 03, 2011, 03:15:27 PM »

Well... we all know fiber makes everything go faster...

I wonder what happens if you feed it some expired film...

It looks like a movie camera that takes 14mm roll film...

Francois · « **Reply #21 on:** December 03, 2011, 08:49:40 PM »

Interesting... it's listed on camerapedia!
It's a japanese subminiature camera that actually takes 14mm roll film!
http://camerapedia.wikia.com/wiki/Colon

Now, they don't say it was a commercial success

Just imagine the 1950's at a christmas party:

-Honey, guess what it is.
-is it a camera?
-Yes honey.
-You didn't get me that minox I'd been dreaming about?
-No honey, I got you something even better
-Oh yeah! what is it? An Hasselblad?
-No honey, I got you a baby colon! Isn't it great!
