What do you think could be hiding in such a small package? A phone? sewing kit? tape recorder?
Something so small it fits in your hand. How about this...






Is this not the coolest camera ever? Two things here, I've always wanted a great camera that fits in my pocket and one that also makes me feel like a spy, (I have a secret wish to be a spy). This little number fits the bill only the film is no longer being manufactured, however, I am going in search of perhaps another film type that may produce something inside this special camera.
Bit of history:
Designed by a Swedish engineer Magnus Niell. The Ensignette measures 3 7/8 x 1 7/8 x 3/4 inch when folded, taking negatives of 2 1/4 x 1 1/2 inches. It was the first all metal mass produced British camera and also used an entirely new film size.
