The entire Shutter and Neck assembly was redesigned to incorporate a flash
mechanism, and that flash is the AA’s only truly redeeming feature. This redesign made
construction labor-intensive and therefore expensive, and rendered many of the camera
parts unique to this model. The smaller lens, the single focal length, the scarcity, and the
parts-incompatibility make this model the least desirable in terms of restoration.
