‘The May Fair Camera’ Box Camera
(by Houghton-Butcher)
Takes 120 Film
*Tested & FULLY Working*The shutter, wind on and all mechanical functions work correctly and have been fully tested.The lens has dust, particles and is likely to have some fungal spores. Please see photos.HOWEVER
The effect of this on the photos will lower the contrast and soften the image. This does mean that portraits will be soft and flattering. If you want sharp photos, this is not the camera for you!AVERAGE condition – please see photos for detailed information on the condition of the camera. There is rust and some of the leatherette body covering is tatty. Please also note that the front wire frame finder does not fully retract into the camera body, but this does not affect the functionality of the camera.Complete with empty 120 Roll film spool!Please see the link below for more information on this camera:http://www.redbellows.co.uk/CameraCollection/HoughtonButcher/MayFairPortraitBoxCamera_gen.htmPlease note the following if you intend using such cameras:Red / Orange film counter window – potential light leaksOlder roll film cameras may leak light through the red / orange counter window. Some cameras have a metal cover which can be opened and closed over the window, which I would recommend if buying a camera for regular use.There is a helpful page on the web, see https://www.photo.net/discuss/threads/light-leak-through-red-film-window-in-folder-camera.156324/ which provides a solution.Thanks for looking and please see my other listings.Stay safe and keep well.Dispatched Royal Mail 2nd Class
