View source for Closter C60

The '''C60''' was the first in a series of simple 35 mm viewfinder cameras made by [[Closter]] in Rome. The C60 was followed by the similar '''C61''', '''C62''' and '''C63'''; McKeown dates the C60 to about 1960,<ref name=McK>{{McKeown12}} p208.</ref> and it is possible the later cameras refer to the years they were made.

The C60 has front-element focusing scaled in feet and metres, down to 1.5 metres. It has a simple 'B' and 'I' shutter, but this is synchronised for flash (and the camera has a [[cold shoe]]). The front plate and lens and shutter unit are very similar to those on the 1959 [[Closter Olympic|Olympic]] camera for 127 film.
