My aunt loaned me an Instamatic Reflex for about 6 months in about 
1974. It was a fun camera. Wish I knew where it is now. I'll have to 
look back and see if I can dig up some prints from it. It was 
actually quite sharp, but the film and flashcube costs were a killer 
for my budget back then. I rolled my own Plus X and TriX in 35mm back 
then.
