INFO I FOUND:
The Homer No.1 is a Japanese subminiature camera producing ten 14x14mm images on a roll of 17.5mm film. It was a more modern version of the Hit-type cameras, certainly made in the 1960s. It was distributed and perhaps manufactured by Kambayashi.[1] The Petit is a name variant of the same camera.
The Homer No.1 has a rectangular styling, similar to the simple viewfinder cameras of the 1960s. It is made of plastic and metal, and has a gray finish with grayish leatherette. The viewfinder is integrated in the top housing. The film is advanced by a wheel at the rear, moved by the photographer’s left thumb. The rear half of the camera is removable for film loading, together with the spool holders and crude advance mechanism. It is locked by sliding bars at both ends, and has an uncovered square window in the middle.
The lens is fixed-focus and has no marking. The aperture is selected by a two-position lever atop the lens barrel, and there are drawings of a cloudy or sunny landscape on either side of the viewfinder, serving as indications for the use of this control. The everset shutter takes instant exposures only. The mention MADE IN JAPAN is inscribed on the shutter plate, below the lens.
