The Ansco 50 110 film cartridge camera is very small about 2 inches in length without the film in it. The 110 film is about an inch longer than the camera and is exposed when loaded. The halfway point for the film cartridge is at the lens and the rest sticks out on the shutter release button side. The shutter speed was fixed at approximately 1/100 of a second and the fixed lens is somewhere around 45 or 50mm with f/8 or f/11 aperture. The camera has a thumb film advance wheel that also loaded the shutter. When you advance the film the shutter mechanism has a pin that enters a hole in the film that stop the advance at each frame and when you depressed the shutter release the pin retracted to allow you to access the next frame. This was true of all 110 manually advanced cameras. The Ansco 50 was once given as a toy camera at fast food establishments plus other promotions and is sometimes referred to as a Keychain camera even though it has no eyelet for that purpose. The Ansco 50 comes equipped with a fold down open frame viewfinder and a white sight line on the cameras top at the center of the view finding frame. The only other feature was on the film when loaded in the form of a frame counter by use of the view window on the back of the cartridge exposing the frame number printed on the film paper backing. This camera was introduced in 1986 toward the end of the heyday of the 110-film cartridge and was made in Hong Kong by a business that had purchased the Ansco name.
