Rondine

The Rondine is a box camera made by Ferrania, Italy, in 1948. It has an all metal body, covered with leatherette. Two finders: a prism reflex finder centered above the taking lens and a folding framefinder/sportsfinder on top of the camera. The Rondine has a Linear 7,5 cm/8.8 lens and takes 4×6.5 pictures on 127 film. The mensicus type lens can be zone focused. Simple shutter with single speed: 1/75s. The Rondine has a flash contact. The right side of the camera with the winding knob can be taken out to load the film. An unusual solution.
