Visual description

A Hanimex Compact R film camera, presented here in a typical 1970s style. The visible front alternates between a black, granulated finish and metallic-looking silver borders. The front panel clearly displays the "HANIMEX compact R" logo on a black background, embossed on the upper left part.

The body has a compact rectangular structure, topped with various visible mechanical elements: a shutter button, a winding lever, and a setting dial, all in metallic shades. The central lens, marked "HANIMAR 1:2.8 f=40mm," surrounds a lens with colored indications for DIN and ASA sensitivities, typical of 35mm cameras of that period. The lens ring displays green and red markings, clearly legible in the photo.

On the right side of the front (facing view), an additional logo and a symbol indicating flash-cube compatibility are visible, characteristic of models from this generation. A black wrist strap is attached to the right side of the camera, suggesting portable and practical use. The grainy texture of the front coating reinforces the vintage look and offers a good grip.

The partially visible upper part shows a rectangular viewfinder and aligned mechanical controls. No major defects are visible on the front: the surface shows a uniform patina, without scratches or significant chips on the visible metal or plastic elements.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The camera shows normal signs of past use, with no apparent damage to the exposed side. The visible elements appear complete and well-preserved.
