Ricoh LX-22
The LX-22 is a fixed focus point-and-shoot camera for 35mm film, introduced by Japanese manufacturer Ricoh in 1992. A version with a data back was also available, and was sold as the LX-22 Date. The model named the LX-22S is a variant model featuring a transparent body shell and colorfully painted internal components, released a year later in 1993 and manufactured of a limited number. This see-through camera is also known as the XOBBOX. Although its body shell is transparent, it can literally take pictures; the film chamber itself is not see-through and is safely sealed from external light.
