The viewfinder hood is made of polished metal that folds when when not in use. The body is black bakelite and vertically oriented.

The camera makes 4×3cm landscape-format exposures on type 127 film rolls. The lens is a Maestar 57.5mm meniscus lens, with a simple time/inst shutter. The back is removable for loading, and has two red windows and a large retaining knob.
