Beirette Camera
« on: November 29, 2009, 11:52:56 PM »
Ages ago I got  a Beirette camera complete with case on ebay fora real bargain.  Got from the box and the shutter didn't last 3 minutes ! Found another one without case but in really nice condition and here are the results.

That's a really beauty. Lovely clear shots, it looks like you got a real bargain.

Sure looks like a good find.
Snow in London?

The rendering sure looks a bit like that of my Steinette (quirkiness aside)

Nice machine there. More than a passing resemblance to the Demi EE17. Likely my next half frame experiment... Skj.
