I have a film camera which, loaded with film, fits inside the standard film box, who can identify it first?

The box is the standard cardboard box for one film, not a multibox.
The film canister fits all inside the camera. (not like some toy 110 cameras)

A Hit camera from the 50s? :)

Cheers, Ian

The extreme folding camera. Or do you have an inflatable camera perhaps?

Hmm... a Minox A, EC or ECX will fit in a 120 box

It fits in the cardboard box for the film it uses, and it is a very small box.

Anyone else wants to have a go?

I'll post the answer tomorrow.

Pinhole 5"X4" ?

It's got a proper lens, one shutter speed but 3 aperture settings

Well looks like that my silly challenge has attracted an incredible amout of interest :D
So to stop you guys from struggling to contain your indifference here is the answer.

Its a Revue cam-watch that takes minox 8x11 film. And loaded with film it fits (without the wrist strap) in a Minox film cardboard box.

here is a link that explains its wonderful technical capabilities ;)

I was thinking maybe the Tessina (http://www.subclub.org/shop/tessina.htm) sub mini, but it was not quite small enough to fit in a 35mm film box.
