L'ocell de la Butcher's / Butcher's bird

IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE

 

La Butcher's Reflex Carbine fou una camera reflex de format 120 fabricada al Regne Unit als anys 20 i 30. De fet es tracta d'un intent de fabricar una camera reflex de format mitjà senzilla i relativament barata. Obviament tant les seves característiques com la seva practicitat s'en resentiren.

 

Només tenia una sola velocitat, apart del mode T, i una col·locació dels comandaments molt poc util: s'enfoca amb el botó de la part superior i es dispara amb els botons situats massa arran del objectiu. Vaig tenir aquesta càmera uns pocs dies: tot i que l'obturador "funcionava", en la majoria dels casos quedava encallat a mig, i la vaig retornar al venedor.

 

L'objectiu es un Aldis Uno Anastigmat.

 

====================

 

The Butcher's Reflex Carbine was a 120-format reflex camera manufactured in the United Kingdom in the 1920s and 30s. In fact, it's an attempt to make a simple, relatively cheap medium-format reflex camera. Obviously both its features and its practicality are resentful of this approach.

 

It only had a single speed, apart from the T mode, and the placement of the controls is awkward: it focuses with the lever at the top and releases the shutter with the buttons located too far near the lens. I had this camera for a few days: although the shutter "worked", in most cases it was stuck in mid-position, and I returned it to the seller.
