Product information
This is a well made camera having a metal body coated with black crackle paint. The body of the lens/shutter combination is plastic. Many parts are chromed including the struts, table stand, viewfinder bezel, winding knob and red window bezel. The camera takes eight 6cm x 9cm frames on 120 film.
It has a fixed instant shutter speed but it can also be used in 'Time' mode. The outer wheel on the lens body allows the choice of I or B. A lever on the side of the lens selects one of two aperture values - f/11 or f/16. It has a swivelling viewfinder for use in portrait or landscape mode. A lever above the lens allows focussing between 6ft and infinity. This is achieved by moving the whole lens/shutter combination forward for close ups using a ramp helical system.
The handle is on the side rather than the end of the camera. There is no cover on the red window. It has a table stand but does not have any tripod mounts.
