My co-worker brought in a tiny camera, with only the text Vario on the front and Rigona barely legible on the outside. Anybody heard of this? I'll see if I can get some photos of it.

Thanks!
Mike

Maybe a Vario Rigona?

I've attached a few shots of it. It is a 127 film camera (I compared the reel to one I have from an old Brownie style camera).

I've never seen one of these and cannot find any info on it. Anybody have a collector book out there?

Thanks!
Mike

Mike:

I expect that VARIO refers to the shutter - so your camera may be a Balda Rigona with a different shutter.

I cannot tell from your pix what the lens is.
