The Baoca BC-2 is, in our opinion, one of the snazzier looking 'toy' 35mm cameras of the 'colour optical lens' variety (we believe it was made In the same factory as the famous 'Time Magazine' camera and a plethora of nearly identical models).

This camera is fully mechanical and does not require batteries. It is intended to be used with colour negative film. It has a fixed shutter speed and though it has three listed apertures, it only shoots at f6.3 (it's very common with these cameras for the aperture control to do nothing). Nonetheless, we feel it would give reasonably good exposures in average daylight conditions using ISO 200 film (for the technically minded: we measured its exposure at EV12.5 at ISO 100).  

You can attach a standard camera flash (not included) for indoor and low-light use. We verified that the flash hot shoe is triggering correctly. 

Condition notes
The camera is in overall very good condition. The shutter is firing correctly and the hot-shoe triggered flashes correctly in our tests. The aperture control doesn't do anything.
