Coronet 6x6

Scanned from the rear cover of Modern Railways, January 1962 issue.

 

What the advert doesn't tell you is that with a top shutter speed of one hundred and twenty-fifth at best, the camera will be useless for anything actually moving, and that camera-shake is more than likely, not to mention the risk of double-exposures..... I bet the maximum aperture is something like f6.3 and that no photograph in the magazine was taken with anything remotely similar.

 

That said, would I like to go back to 1962 with the camera and a couple of rolls? Yes please!

 

Coronet cameras were made in Birmingham for forty years, up until 1967.
