When I see a vintage camera like this for only £4 I could
not help but buy it. The Coronet Ambassador was created in England around 1955
and is made from metal and Bakelite. It shoots on 120 film and uses a fixed
focus and small aperture to create a focus image. The only controls are a
normal of bulb mode for the shutter and a green filter to enhance black and
white photos. I am yet to test this with
film but when I do I will show you my results. This is the camera that inspired me
to create a Camera Obscura and even if I never use it in anger it just nice
owning a little of photography history.
One thing I did try was adding a
digital sensor to this camera and using it like a Camera Obscura the results were interesting
but need fine tuning.
