The 1938 Univex Mercury was an unusual half frame 35 mm camera from The Universal Camera Corporation.
It was the first camera with any kind of hot shoe connector,[1] and had a distinctive profile due to a large dome protruding from the top of the main body to accommodate its 1/1000 sec rotary disc shutter.[2] It used Universal #200 film, which was only made prior to WWII.[3]
