I have a Kershaw 450 which I bought in 1965 for £4-10s from a second-hand shop. It has an 80mm f/4.5 Otar lens with stops to f22. The shutter is a Velio with speeds 10,25,50,100,200 and B. I found the position of the shutter release on the fold-out front made it very easy to hold the camera steady and gently squeeze the shutter with the camera in "portrait" position i.e the film going vertically rather than horizontally. Of course this meant that when you got the pictures back from processing you had to turn them through 90 degrees to view them properly!
