All stainless steel

The camera (jewelry) is made of 316L stainless steel, which is surgical/marine steel. The 316L stainless steel is defined as a high-quality and ultra-robust and resistant material. Hence, this gift may be remained for a lifetime and beyond. Yet, all details are there. Buttons, screens, viewfinder, film magazines, and even a 35mm cinema lens with aperture and focus rings. Furthermore, the camera comes inside a microfiber pouch, packed within a high-quality handmade cardboard box. Inside there’s a small brochure.
