Its made of plastic, has a motordrive and you cant make any adjustments to the exposure. Theres one aperture and one time. The camera looks like it has at least four different apertures but I cant figure out any way to change it. Theres nothing that moves exept for the shutterrelease and the film rewind button. I even dissasembled it to be really sure&#8230; If anyone knows how its supposed to work your input will be very welcome.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe they used the same lens on other cameras with the feature of four apertures? Information on this site (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kameramuseum.de\/canomatic\/index.htm\">  Virtuelles Kamera-Museum Kurt Tauber Sammlung<\/a>) seems to indicate that.<\/p>\n<p>One sure sign of a quality camera is if you find weights in it to make it feel heavier. This ones got one as you can see from the pictures below.<\/p>\n<p>I havent decided yet if I should try it out with a film or just put it on the shelf. There are a few other cams in my collection that Im more eager to try out&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>It looks a lot like a copy of a Minolta 5000, as you can see here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/thogus\/4920561483\/\" title=\"Minolta 5000 vs Meikai AR-4367 by Thomas Gustafson, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4141\/4920561483_dea622009b.jpg\" alt=\"Minolta 5000 vs Meikai AR-4367\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Heres some more pictures of it:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/thogus\/4920956808\/\" title=\"Meikai AR-4367 by Thomas Gustafson, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4123\/4920956808_aa52ec7d67.jpg\" alt=\"Meikai AR-4367\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/thogus\/4920956610\/\" title=\"Meikai AR-4367 by Thomas Gustafson, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4143\/4920956610_08b9d0f2a3.jpg\" alt=\"Meikai AR-4367\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/thogus\/4920956504\/\" title=\"Meikai AR-4367 by Thomas Gustafson, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4077\/4920956504_8d94bb4b03.jpg\" alt=\"Meikai AR-4367\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/thogus\/4920956394\/\" title=\"Meikai AR-4367 by Thomas Gustafson, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4114\/4920956394_d68fff0cea.jpg\" alt=\"Meikai AR-4367\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/thogus\/4920956232\/\" title=\"Meikai AR-4367 by Thomas Gustafson, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4119\/4920956232_518ec122fc.jpg\" alt=\"Meikai AR-4367\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/thogus\/4920956134\/\" title=\"Meikai AR-4367 by Thomas Gustafson, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4075\/4920956134_7e0d0bee57.jpg\" alt=\"Meikai AR-4367\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/thogus\/4920356775\/\" title=\"Meikai AR-4367 by Thomas Gustafson, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4073\/4920356775_afcd25c355.jpg\" alt=\"Meikai AR-4367\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/thogus\/4920955898\/\" title=\"Meikai AR-4367 by Thomas Gustafson, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4141\/4920955898_e7151b606f.jpg\" alt=\"Meikai AR-4367\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/thogus\/4920955776\/\" title=\"Meikai AR-4367 by Thomas Gustafson, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4114\/4920955776_cabaac38ce.jpg\" alt=\"Meikai AR-4367\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/thogus\/4920955652\/\" title=\"Meikai AR-4367 by Thomas Gustafson, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4119\/4920955652_6405c53a25.jpg\" alt=\"Meikai AR-4367\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/thogus\/4920356267\/\" title=\"Meikai AR-4367 by Thomas Gustafson, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4101\/4920356267_6b17a5af41.jpg\" alt=\"Meikai AR-4367\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is one of the latest additions to my collection: A camera so crappy it might be good.
