Sun

See "Spy Camera" page 59-60 Michael Pritchard and Douglas St. Denny.

Shaped like the Snappy, it is the only example of a twin lens subminiature with the film path running horizontally. The Sun's reflex viewfinder is a simple waist level finder built into the top plate, very similar to the Mighty and Tone cameras.

The triangular shaped Sun camera has no manufacturer's markings. The lens is a Sanko, fixed focus 35mm, without an indication of aperture. Shutter speeds of B and I. See Sun B.

The shutter release is on the top of the camera, with what appears to be a lock.

There is also a "HIT" style camera with the name "Sun B".
