What do these two human creations have in common?
Italian design! Yes, Italians also made cameras. But this camera is definitely not the Ferrari of the camera world.
This sad ugly duckling is very small—110x72x60 mm, perhaps that's why it looks so sad.
And it requires 127-type film. However, you can take interesting photos on 135 film— including the perforation in the exposure.
Aperture F11, shutter speed 1/50s. Everything else will have to rely on the film's exposure latitude. So, ILFORD HP5+ will be just right. Although, most likely, it will need to be underexposed by two stops and developed accordingly.
Thanks to the Italians, it doesn't have fixed focus. The focusing range is from 1m to infinity. The focal length is 55mm with a crop factor of 0.86, equivalent to 48mm for a standard full-frame camera. By the way, the frame size here is 3x4 cm, vertically oriented.
127-type film was spotted for sale on Aliexpress.
