Just a Box

Recommended Posts

<p>Inspired by Kozma's post inquiring how many films shot per year, I've resolved to shoot at least one roll per year with each of my old classics. It had been years since I'd shot with this circa 1950 Bencini Koroll, a collapsible-lens take on a basic box camera (albeit with a cool aluminum shell). It cost all of $10 at a local thrift shop.<br>

<p>I've had a number of these over a period, and got some quite sharp images from the simple meniscus lenses. It seems a pity that with the otherwise high standard of construction, they never fitted them with better quality lenses and shutters, which would have made them rather good cameras.</p>
