Purma Special
A Bakelite body camera made in England in 1937.
The camera has a retracting lens, and an intriguing gravity-driven exposure (shutter/slit) mechanism. This changes the exposure speed for the square 127 roll film as you tilt the camera to the left (90 degrees) for fast, or right (90 degrees) for slow.
Photographed stopped down with a Tomioka Auto-Revuenon 55mm f1.2.
(And possibly the most Moiré-inducing object I've ever photographed!)
