BEST SUITED FOR:


Good for nothing!

PERSONAL NOTES

As a later box camera model, The Tower Model 7 has some features usual box camera don't have. Like bigger finders, flash sync port, remote relase and tripod socket. This Tower Model 7 is one of the best box camera I ever used because of these features. But, a box camera is still just a box camera. Optical quality is poor and shutter speed is very limited, often only one speed is available, making the use of these cameras rather difficult.


CONCLUSION

If you want a cute opject for decoration, box cameras are cheap. If you want to use one, arm yourself with patience and don't have big expectations.
