Made in Japan for just 1 year (1956), withdrawn because of
overwhelming German competition. A beautifully engineered camera with a
good lens, back to that subjective thing, no special features just nice to
handle. It has a very light shutter release, if anything too light it has
a tendency to go off before you expect it. On the day i took it out for
its first test roll
the weather was dismal and although I was only a few hundred yards from
the embankment in London there were very few good targets for me to aim at. I have
posted a few of the better shots but I was not particularly happy with
them, I think underexposure prevailed. This is a bit of a tricky camera
for bad weather conditions because of it's unusual speed range. 1/50th is
a bit slow for good handheld shots and 1/100th is too fast for a
reasonable depth of field. The best shots therefore, as you can see below
are those which were taken at closer range where the DoF is less
important. I have tried the camera again in better weather and the results
are much improved. On the better shots it shows that
the images are sharp and clear indicating that the lens is very good.
