Don't u dare knock the boys at Buttergrip!

That Mamiya might just beat the Kodak 35.

I am proud to say I owned one of these babies.

That plastic cod piece actually won camera of the year in Europe! This is what happens when you let backwaters vote…

Personally for me personally the nastiest part of the white/gold camera is the fake WWII German military engraving, and the only thing nastier might be a real WWII German military engraving or one of those NKVD FEDs. Yuck.

....you mean this here :

Leica IIIc grey

Most of the ones that were distributed to the Air Force, and the Navy must also have recived a few through official channels
[ remember " Das Boot " ], have no engravings at all :

Any of the cameras built by Miroslav Tichý!

Konica AIBORG gets my vote. Ugly from any angle.

The Mamiya 7 is the ugliest camera ever made. The worst proportions ever: a skinny lens mounted on the fat bulge. Eww. They even painted some of them champagne! As if someone was pushing the envelope of ugliness trying to see how far they can go...

I think nearly all AF SLRs range from hideous to boring in terms of looks, but the Yashica 230 AF takes the cake. Probably the only one I'd consider ugly enough to come back around to sorta-cool-looking.

You can remove that flash unit, but that would rob it of some of its charm.

I think it is pretty cool, I had not seen that before. Reminds me of something from the 2001 Space Odyssey set.

Sigh. I came in here to mock it and now I want one.

Yep. That is hideous. I'll stick to my plain old F1-N. It was a trend in the 80's to produce these gold plated outfits. Others which spring to mind were the Nikon FA and Pentax LX. What were they thinking of?

Another vote for the Konica Aiborg. Ughhh!

Neet - is it engraved with WWII Luftwaffe regalia? That would surely be the crowning touch to such a beauty, n'est-ce pas?

Nasty in a sort of "Stepford Wives" sense......
