I have acquired all three Purma cameras. The Speed is really lovely - but I have not run a film through it yet. I acquired them as I wrote a book about Purma cameras which I have self-published on Amazon and LuLu. They are intriguing cameras. I love the design of all three models and the results are not bad for a 127 camera. If you are interested in the cameras I have created a resource page for the Purma Camera Book on my website with some links - including where to get some 127 film (or how to make it)

I love the look of the Special.... have you seen the other two on the range? The Speed and the Plus. They all have the same gravity shutter mechanism.

You can download some of the Purma patents from my website if that is of any help. They show how the gravity shutter works. It's a great device but only works on square images - may be why the company went out of business.
