In Japan, after WWII, there were a lot of small camera's build. There was not much money, nor resources, so they decided to build small cameras, using small films.
One class of these sub miniatures is commonly called "Hit-Types".
Why named "Hit"?
Well, one of the first and most common names on these little things was "Hit". There are really a lot of different names, all with its subtle differences in construction. Some collectors has really shelves full of them.
This page is dedicated to the ones I own. It contains pages of the "normal" Hit camera, but also some more expensive and more rare, like the "Mycro III a"
