ULCA TSL

This precious little camera is the ULCA, a member of the HIT family of subminiatures cameras.  It appeared throughout the world under a variety of names but in the US it was marketed under the ULCA name by the ULCA Camera Corp of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. With a body made of die-cast zinc, the ULCA feels much more substantial than your typical HIT camera.⁠

⁠HIT cameras were generally novelty cameras: having simple, meniscus lenses and primitive shutter mechanisms.  They used a tiny roll film, and in the case of the ULCA, produced 20x20mm images.⁠

⁠Annie, our national manager here at the shop, was awfully tempted by this one.  It is almost too cute to pass up.  Unfortunately for the ULCA, her interests got snagged by a Zero Image pinhole so this little guy is out on our shelves for sale.  You know, in case you have a tiny open space on your camera collection shelves.
