This is cool:

So many design flaws... you'd have to hold it w your right hand as you will need to focus w your left hand as the unmounted lenses are in the way. But the film advance is on the right, so as you saw you need to reach over with your left hand to use it.

But it is a very interesting design oddity for a collection!

That is how I use all my cameras - sometimes :smile:

Yeah, but think of the street cred!

'Sounds like a Kiss' do they mean a 'Glasgow Kiss'. If you are not sure what that is, google:- What is a Glasgow Kiss' then stand back.

Google it and see - you don't kiss with a handshake- well I don't anyway

Just to save you the effort:-
The colloquial British-English noun Glasgow kiss denotes a headbutt. This noun alludes to the reputation for violence accorded to some parts of Glasgow, a city in west-central Scotland

Well all can say is there are some odd people north of the border. (not all, most a fine!)
