I took the camera to London for the "Film Photography Podcast" meetup. This is one of the few photos that doesn't feature another photographer!

Although it's a bit battered, this one works OK, except for hesitant slow shutter speeds. It was made in Germany in the early 1930s.

The film was in poor condition, and was stuck to the backing paper, I had to develop it as it was, though at the end of the process the paper peeled off quite easily. There was a considerable residue of paper particles left stuck to the film, these are the white flecks visible on this photo.

This is not only a new model for me, but a new format, it takes 2cm x 3cm pictures, and squeezes 24 exposures out of a roll. So far I haven't been able to find any other cameras that use 127 film in this way.
It was made in the early 1960s, there was a film in it when I found it, Kodacolor II, which was introduced in 127 size in 1973.

The automatic exposure mechanism on this camera seems to have died, but it still works as a fixed aperture, single speed device. I transferred the partly used film from the Kodak Brownie Super 27 that I was using earlier in the week.

This is a very heavy and chunky camera, although it has an automatic exposure system, this doesn't seem to be working, so I treated it as a simple point and shoot, with fixed aperture and shutter speed, and took the four frames in bright daylight. I didn't want to risk wasting a whole film, so tranferred the part used roll from the Brownie Super 27 to finish it off.

The curly Efke film managed to slip free from the film plane and provide an unplanned selective focus effect.
