I am still searching for nice little bakelite cameras.
This one is really small on my shelves. It was manufactured in 1950 by Genos Kamerabau in Germany.
It uses type 120 films to produce 6x6 cm negatives.
The lens is a modest meniscus.
Three settings are offered by means of levers at the bottom of the camera front.
Left one allows to switch between two diaph.apertures
Middle one rotates a yellow filter to the lens axis
right one switches between instant and time exposure
I am always attracted by the nice forms of the bakelite cameras and this one is in mint condition.
Some variations of this model exist ( with handle, with flash sync. connection etc...) and I wish to find them.
