This simple camera, weighing scarcely more than a 126 cartridge, has a switch on front labeled with "sunny" and "cloudy/flash" symbols that masks the aperture to f/16 when in the "sunny" position. A spring-loaded pin in the film chamber raises the left side of the film cartridge when the camera is open, making the cartridge easier to remove. The Porst "Pocket Magicube" that came with this camera (shown) is much smaller than those sold in the U.S. by GE and Sylvania; it's roughly 2/3 the height, and a pack of three is smaller than a pack of 110 film. Porst (Photo-Porst) is a large German photo and electronics distributor. This camera was also sold as the Carena 126 Sport.
