A Gem From 1951.


I purchased this 1951 Coronet 3D camera about a year ago, and it was in need of a little tender loving care. The shutter was sticky, so carefully removing the front, I cleaned out decades of dust and grime, and revived the shutter spring a a small amount of silicon lubricant. Results have been mixed, but over the next few days, I'm running another cut down 120 film through the chamber and see what we end up with. It was made to take 127 film which is still available from specialist film suppliers, but I tend to cut 120 film to size using a special cutter, purchased in Italy. More about the latter in a later post.
