This is one of the less common of the Bencini range, it is styled rather like a cine camera, with a vertical layout. There is a single shutter speed of 1/50th, plus "B", and unusually, a cable release socket.
I loaded it with a roll of Macocolor C41 negative film, and managed to make rather a mess of it, losing the first 3 frames in the process. I'll know what to do next time!
It is 100 years since 127 film was launched, once the mainstay of family photography, it is now obsolete. To mark this centenary year, I plan to use as many 127 film cameras as I can.

That is an exceptionally cool and unusual looking camera!
ReplyDeleteI agree, there are plenty of the more conventionally syled Comets around, but you do't see these so often.
