Thank you @GD Fan for the thread (and the nice photos).
In the 1970s, the NYC-metro Rock-n-Roll concert venues were not friendly places for toting in big hunkin' 35mm SLRs. That is, if your camera did not get ripped-off, en route!
I lost my dad's minox 'spy-camera' in a Ramones concert and slave-labor was my punishment for the whole summer that year.
One venue wanted to confiscate my Canon A1, so I decided to go vigilante:
/\ This was the 110 format SLR w/interchangeable lenses (+flash, +winder) from Asahi Pentax. I used up two of these auto110 bodies before stepping up to the Super version few years later. When we went to concerts, I'd stash the auto110, the lenses, and the flash in my pockets, Never had confrontations at the venue entrances again.
