The de Vry Still Camera Model K-1, or Q.R.S. Kamra is a very early 35mm camera made by the De Vry company in Chicago, possibly in 1928. It is also an early plastic camera. The brick-like body was made of mottled brown Bakelite-like plastic, with all the controls on one side. The flat back was removable for film loading, the film winding between special film cassettes.
The camera had a clockwork timer, and could shoot 40 24x32mm frames in 20 seconds.
