Well, yes, it is definitely ugly. Actually it well be used to illustrate
an article about photo equipment curiosities.
But lets vote the most beautiful film SLR for your eyes! (just the
design of camera/lens, not it's technical level).
My vote will go to... errr, I have to think a bit more :)

That's quite possibly the ugliest camera and lens combinations I've
ever seen...

Hi there,
I do collect old cameras. Can't help myself (even if I would like
to...).
Some weeks ago I got some items for my Chinon collection. Seller from
German eBay sent me also one camera that I can not name. Manufacturer
and model names have been brutally scratched off and painted over.
Just "Made in Japan" on both body and winder. Maybe some of you can
recognize it?

Some technical specifications:
K-bayonet
Cloth shutter 8s...1/1000s
Manual shutter speeds + AUTO mode (most probably Av)
Power switch and electronic self timer are integrated. It's
tthree-position switch, which is quite unusually placed at TOP panel,
under the rewind knob.)
DOF preview, manual ISO setting (25...3200), exposure compensation
+/-2EV
LED shutter speed indication, horizontal-split focusing screen w.
microprism.
2x G13 batteries.
If someone is interested: here's my Chinon CE-5 with Winder S and
50mm AF lens:
