Ensign Ful-Vue
When i saw one of these a few weeks back i knew i would be able to get good shots with this. I just knew it. Proved right with the arrival of this beauty. The box isn't an original i think, i've seen them with a lovely leather case. It is also missing the little lock /Unlock badge on the knob which opens up the Spool Cone.However the camera is in mint condition (despite me dropping it yesterday) and required very little cleaning & the mirror plate is in good condition.
It's design is such that i was able to craft a bespoke attachment which (continuing on the recycling old and new theme) is held on with a postman's dropped rubber band.
edit to add this from the front page of the booklet
"The Ensign Ful-Vue Camera is distinguished for its unique and elegant design, efficent large brilliant View Finder and simplicity of movements. The easiest of all Cameras to use and achieve results comparable with those taken with more expensive Cameras.
Remember your Ful-Vue is a Scientific Instrument technically correct in all details and should be treated as such with little extra so that for many years really excellent pictures will be your reward. Pictures which will be an endless pleasure to owner and friends. Photography is a fascinating hobby, especially with the Ensign Ful-Vue camera - a picture with every exposure."
Made for flickr then!!!
