Description
-
Black bakelite "compact" (actually quite big) camera.
Made of two parts: a front and a back that fit together without any locking ability. The camera bag serves this purpose, as well as the purpose of lens protection with another riveted bakelite element.
This camera is massive, both in height and width, and surely bigger than the designs produced later by MIOM.
The lens is set up by turning a silver helicoid, that will become manual on later models.
Originally bi-format (6x4,5 and 6x9) using a film mask, lost on this item. Two red windows on the back to read the pictures numbers.
Two speeds: instant and timed. Two apertures named 1 and 2.
Boyer Paris Serie VII lens.
