| Ensign Box 2¼ B | ||
|---|---|---|
Manufacturer: Ensign Date of Production: 1923 Type of Camera: Box Film Type: 120 Roll (6x9) Shutter: Rotary Shutter speed range: I or T Viewfinder: Waist level or wire frame |
The Box Ensign 2¼B was made by Houghton-Butcher in the UK around 1923[1]. It took 2¼×3¼ (6×9cm) negatives on 120 film (Ensign 2¼B film). It has a simple rotary I/T shutter. There was also a 2¼A model, for 2¼ square images.
There seem to have been at least two models, one with a meniscus lens, another with a Rapid Rectilinear (RR) lens, with a choice of three (unlabelled) apertures selected by a slider above the shutter release. Some versions have a plug-type lens cap, made of leatherette-covered card, attached by a string to the lens surround.
There are two Watson-type finders and a wire frame finder which folds down over the front.
It was available in black, or a leather-grain effect brown.
