Ami (WZFO)

The Ami and Ami 66 are toy viewfinder cameras made of plastic by the Polish firm Warszawskie Zaklady Fotooptyczne.

Made around 1960, the Ami takes 6×6 cm (or with a mask 4.5x6 cm) exposures on 120 film. It has a 75/8 simple, fixed-focus meniscus lens, and a choice between 1/50 sec (with flash synchronization) and B. Aperture is f/8 for sunny and f/16 for cloudy.

The Ami 66 was a more modern and even simpler looking version. Its body was made of "styropol", a Polish high impact polystyrene, which bettered aesthetics and reduced weight.
