EXHIBIT 31.1

                                  CERTIFICATION

I, Ira B. Lampert, certify that:

        1.      I have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-K of Concord
        Camera Corp. (the "registrant");

        2.      Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue
        statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
        to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which
        such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period
        covered by this report;

        3.      Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other
        financial information included in this report, fairly present in all
        material respects the financial condition, results of operations and
        cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in
        this report;

        4.      The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I are
        responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and
        procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e))
        for the registrant and have:

                (a)     Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or
        caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our
        supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the
        registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us
        by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which
        this report is being prepared;

                (b)     [Reserved] {Paragraph omitted pursuant to SEC Release
        Nos. 33-8238/34-47986 and 33-8392/34-49313}

                (c)     Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's
        disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this report our
        conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and
        procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report based on
        such evaluation; and

                (d)     Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's
        internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
        registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's fourth fiscal
        quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially affected,
        or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal
        control over financial reporting; and

        5.      The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I have
        disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over
        financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit
        committee of the registrant's board of directors (or persons performing
        the equivalent functions):

                (a)     All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in
        the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting
        which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability
        to record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

                (b)     Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves
        management or other employees who have a significant role in the
        registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
