| Detrola G image by Rick Soloway (Image rights) |
The Model G was one of Detrola's bakelite cameras for 3×4 cm exposures on 127 film. It was a less expensive alternative to the Model H and Model K,[1] lacking the extinction light meter found on those models. Features a "fully corrected"[2] Ilex Anastigmat 2-inch f/4.5 or Detrola Anastigmat 2-inch f/4.5 lens. An upgraded version called a Model GW offered a Wollensak 2-inch f/4.5 lens (the "W" appended to the model name indicates the use of the Wollensak lens). Shutter speeds 1/25 to 1/200, T, and B.
While the more expensive Detrolas had metal viewfinder housings, the flimsy molded-plastic viewfinder of the G is often found warped or disintegrated entirely.
