This is a rare red coloured, Model 2 Ensign Ful-Vue camera.

The body work appears to be in very good condition given its age.

However, it is not free from its imperfections: the viewfinder has dropped (the mirror moves up and down when I think it should be in situ). There is heavy fungus in the viewfinder too and also fungus inside the lens, which is not really a surprise given its age. There are no cracks to the glass or lens, which is great to see.

The camera may have additional faults that I haven’t mentioned, but I don’t know how to fully test these cameras and I haven’t tested it with any film either. I think the shutter arm works but not 100% sure. I am therefore selling this camera as ‘sold as seen’ / ‘for parts or not working’ so please bear this in mind when you are deciding to bid on this camera.

I haven’t opened-up the camera in fear of breaking it. However, I think it uses 120 roll film.

There is no box that comes with this camera, but there is a plastic, clear shoulder strap attached to it.

One of these recently sold for over 200 on Ebay. I however am starting the auction at a sensible price given its imperfections. At the very least, a great display item, as these came in a variety of colours from what I have seen. If you are missing a red coloured one, then now is your chance to secure one!

PLEASE NOTE: OVERSEAS BIDDERS PLEASE CONTACT ME PRIOR TO PLACING YOUR BID TO CONFIRM POSTAGE COSTS TO YOUR COUNTRY. MANY THANKS.
