The Rolet is a viewfinder camera for 127 film fitted with a with Aplanatic Plantar Meniscus lens 75mm f/11 (speeds B / 1/30th). The camera was made by CMF-Bencini, c.1946. The chromed, brass-bodied camera has a collapsibl chromed lens tubus, with a lock which prevents accidental shutter release unless the tubus is fully extended. As the camera is front-heavy with the lens tubus fully extended, a small foot has been added that can be swung out to ensure the camera sits level on a table.
