    My grandparents gave me this in the 1960s. I remember buying film and taking pictures with it. The pictures did turn out, but, understandably, I had variable success with the lighting. The focus wasn't too bad, which surprised me. It is entirely original, including the leather strap. I cannot find much of anything on the web about this camera. It says "SEMIDAK C.P.C" around the lens.
