There were only three exposures left when I transferred the partly used film into this camera. It was a sunny spring morning, and with ISO 200 film, the image is quite over-exposed, even using the smaller of the two apertures. When this camera was made, film would have been a couple of stops slower, so the exposure would have been about right for a sunny day.

127 camera No.13 - Whitehouse Beacon Reflex

Another very basic camera using the 4x4 square format. I tranferred the partly used Maco colour negative film from the Bencini Comet camera. There were only three exposures left, but I found this camera more fun to use than the Bencini, so I may put a full film in it at some point.

This was taken using Maco colour negative film, slightly expired and developed in Tetenal C41 chemistry.

Only 9 weeks into the year and I'm on my 12th 127 camera, but I don't think I'll keep this pace up for the whole year, I certainly haven't got 52 127 cameras, and will do everything I can to avoid acquiring that many...
