The Anny 10 is an inexpensive camera for Bolta film, made by Hōei in the late 1950s. It has a fixed-focus 5 cm lens, with two aperture settings (f/8 and f/11). It has an 'I' and 'B' shutter, which is synchronised for flash with a PC socket and cold shoe side by side on the top housing.[1]


The camera is styled to resemble a 35 mm rangefinder: it has a reverse-Galilean viewfinder, and a second, smaller window in the top housing; this is not a rangefinder, but shows a red panel when the shutter release is locked (by the sliding control at the top of the window).[1]

The film is advanced using a winding knob and red window (the window has a sliding cover). There is a dummy rewinding knob on the top, continuing the illusion of a 35 mm rangefinder camera. Inside the film chamber, the film follows a curved path (like a Brownie 127) to favour the simple lens.[1]

An improved version of the camera was sold as the Anny 10 Super, with one more shutter speed and more aperture settings. That camera is also styled to look like a rangefinder camera. There was also the Anny SP, which has specifications very like the Anny 10, but is made to look like an SLR.
