Bencini Koroll II
Another car boot find, this one set me back all of £2. It takes medium format (120) film, but is a half frame camera so you get 24 shots from a roll instead of 12. I've got some film ready to go, but first I need to get some black masking tape as I strongly suspect that this is going to have all the light retention qualities of a sieve.
In case like me you're wondering as to the point of the sparkly rectangle to the right of the viewfinder, it isn't a built in flash, neither is it a selenium light meter. It is a piece of sparkly plastic to jazz up the camera - did I mention this is Italian made? Note also the reflective coating on the viewfinder so that your subjects can pose appropriately!
Another little quirk of this camera is that, because it's shooting half a frame at a time, when you hold the camera in the landscape position you are actually shooting portrait, and vice-versa, which is why the viewfinder is the shape it is. The more you know eh?
