It's possible to recognize these special camerast evolution only seeing the picture in this page. First cameras (from 1950 to 1970) were models absolutely similar to standard production, only supplied with a wide angle lens for special purposes. Something like Rollei choice with Rollei Wide (Lens Distagon 4/55), the famous twin lenses reflex, absolutely similar to standard Rollei 2,8 with Sonnar or Planar 80 lens. Second step began in 1970 decade, with more compact models, many of these cameras similar to Minox 35 philosophy, a great commercial success in those years ! At beginning of 1980' years a third generation of 35 mm wide amera appears, sometnig like "Heavy Duty" cameras, water proof, but not underwater proof, made with much rubber and strong colors, yellow overall, maybe to see better cameras in difficult situations. At the end of 1980 a new generation of wide angle cameras born, fourth generation, many of them autofocus ( the great innovation who start easily with point and shoot cameras, and wide angle lense made autofoucus easily to realize, and less accurate than in reflex cameras ). Starting from 1993, another commercial choice has been made by major firms in the world : some of the most expensive cameras were little, with luxurious finishes, very sophisticated cameras like Minox MDC, Nikon 28 and 35 Ti, Ricoh GR-1 and GR-21, Konica Hexar, Minolta TC-1. Many different ages for the same idea.
