Abstract

A one-time-use camera provided with a taking lens, and a front cover part that includes a lens surround having a lens opening for the taking lens, is characterized in that an outer cover part is positioned over the front cover part and includes a lens surround shaped distinctively different than the lens surround of the front cover part, has an open-air lens opening, and is fitted over the lens surround of the front cover part in a way that the lens opening in the lens surround of the outer cover part is optically aligned with the lens opening in the lens surround of the front cover part, in order to recase the one-time-use camera.
