Balda Baldina

All cameras are film tested, and any issues found are described below. Any photos you see in the listing are taken with this particular camera.

Lens: Schneider 50mm f/2.9

Film Format: 35mm

Shutter: B/1 to 1/300 sec

Aperture: f/2.9 to f/22

Year: 1954 - Onwards

Country: Germany

The good:

·         For a 70-year-old camera, it is in remarkably good condition.

·         Shutter fires well, and tested exposures reveal no timing issues.

·         Focus ring is smooth and accurate.

·         Film transport arm is smooth and solid.

The less good:

·         The viewfinder has some dust at the edges of the frame. This does not affect image quality, nor usability.

·         Missing a cosmetic label.

·         General wear and tear.
