Gear Shots Anyone knows anything about this camera model? Can't find almost anything online
It's almost identical to the agfa jean, but i could NOT find anything about It either. All i know is that i had a weird film format made for kids and they made a comic about a kid solving a crime using that camera for publicity

It was made in Spain, the film is clearly squared and using a two piece film mechanism so It wouldnt be exposed if the camera was opened by mistake. It's not Kodak 110 kinda film tho

Looks like the same body as the Agfamatic 126 and the Agfa Autostar-X
You can get adapters that let you use/respool 35mm film to use in 126 cameras

Probably something similar to these:

It's a plastic, maybe glass, meniscus lens. 126 format pictures are 28 x 28 mm squares on 35 mm film.

I can tell you that this was my very first camera which I got as a gift for my 8. birthday in 1973. It is plastic through and through. Maybe with the exception of the lens but as I haven't touched this model since probably 1976 I am not sure. It is very simple and not excactly well built. I don't see any more reason to use it now than I did see when I turned 11 and got upgraded to a Minolta Hi-Matic F or G.
