What is the ugliest camera you own?

[Huss]

Inspired by the nastiest looking camera thread - but this is for cameras you actually own right now! Post pics of YOUR fuglies!

Mine:

How is that lens? 45mm 1.8 seems impressive.

 

[Kino]

Can't say, it's non-functional. Tried to repair it, but it has an insane metering system with a bajillion parts, so I put it back together and there it sits...

Are only covering ugly cameras? Because there are several post of camera that are somewhat out the normal expectations, not just ones like on the other thread, "WHAT IS THE NASTIEST LOOKING CAMERA YOU HAVE SEEN ?" OP, please provide guidance.

Post a pic of the ugliest camera you own. If you don't own an ugly camera, wellllll (Dana Carvey as the Church Lady) aren't you special!

I've got a Nikkormat EL that is filthy - inside and out. Fungus, dents, scratches, you name it. Works though.

 

[Mogens]

Canon AT-1

It's just wild how the company that made such lovely rangefinders really struggled to make SLRs that didn't look dumb.

Probably this one, because of the amount of paint loss and wear it has. It looks like it's been through a war because it has. My grandfather carried it with him all through World War Two.

That’s not ugly at all. Really pleasing to the eye.

My roughest, ugliest camera is a Kiev rf ; it’s my stormy weather camera.

It's the post WWII paint they used, I have a pre war version with no issues.

I have three Nettars, the paint flakes off rather than wear, although this one is fine, one is as bad as your camera, the other in-between.

Well it's been done before by Meyer with the Megoflec for Leica cameras but metal not 3d printed.

Minolta 9xi

 

[Autonerd]

Dunno about the ugliest, but certainly the saddest, most abused-looking camera I own is my Minolta XG-E. Looks like hell but works like crazy, because Minolta.

Argus C3 (I have a couple, not working). They are not THAT ugly, but not beautiful, and the ugliest that I own.

 

[KerrKid]

Minolta 9xi

Yes, fugly. I’m looking for a $10 one to go with my $10 Leica.

I think you can have my Minolta Maxxum 9xi for $10 plus shipping. Good luck with your Leica.

I don't own any ugly cameras, but when I sold cameras for a living the Konica Aiborg., it looks like when it was born the midwife slapped it in the mouth !

 

[Helios 1984]

My ugliest camera is this Instamatic 714 which is, along with the 814 and X-90, one of the ugliest designs I’ve seen so far. Bonus oddity, the lens is made of good old radioactive thoriated glass.

Could you please upload a pic of that ugly camera?

Abortion hackjob comes to mind : D
A champion!



No. Just no.
Looks like junk, operates like junk, no prism in finder and the provided focusing performance is very lacking to say the least:

oh well, this is not my ugliest camera but def my ugliest setting for a tripod replacement in the middle of nowhere. A Maximar 207/7 on a bench vise with a sort of hydraulic jack.
