Topic: Coronet 4x4 Mark II on ebay UK

Since we're talking about the 1960's Coronet plastic cameras I though I'd point this baby out:

No-one else will bid on it, so if you fancy a gorgeous UK-made 127 plastic camera then get stuck in....and don't forget that you can use Professor Al's method and put 35mm film through these cameras as well.

I still havent' shot a roll through mine. Hopefully I'll have the time after the move.

[Ed Wenn]

Well, just make sure you have a lot of light. It really makes a difference with these cameras.

I was thinking of shooting 35mm so I could use a higher speed film like the new Kodak Portra 400. In 127 I couldn't find anything higher than ISO 200 which might be a problem.

Now I've done a dealwith Andrea I have plenty on 127 swill use my 4x4 again. Normally I save the 127 for the bullet and baby Yash.

Such a shame Erie is the only mono available, we better keep buying it.

You mean the Efke film? There's also the Rollei Retro 80S, but that one is even slower and doesn't take underexposure very well.

Yes efke, sorry was using a phone

One thing about the auto correct on phones is that it mostly prevents from using foul language...

Cute and cheap. I like it!!

I have one of these but never had thought of running 35mm through it! Great idea!! is   there any literature out there on how many turns between shots?..or do you just wing it..

Here's some great info from the other thread...

Of which I extracted this gem.
"One way round this is to wing it; give it a good ten cranks for the first few frames, then decrease this as you go on - and enjoy the double exposures that probably still result."
