The Rainbow Hawk-eye was based on the Cartridge Hawk-Eye camera, but in a variety of colors, including blue, green, brown, maroon, red and black. Oddly enough, the black seems to be the least common. In addition to color, they can be found with different grain patterns to the outer covering. The Rainbow Hawk-Eye was available in the two sizes that are common to many of the hawk-Eye line, No. 2 and 2A. The No.2 used 120 film, creating images that are 2-1/4 x 3-1/4 inched. The 2A made 2-1/2 x 4-1/4 inch images on 116 film. Both sizes of the Rainbow Hawk-Eye were available in two models, Model B and Model C. The Model B had two viewfinders, the Model C was a simplified version with only one.
