Cocarette Rollfilm Camera Nr. 220 (1925) der Contessa Nettel AG

#diamantakis #studioanalog #cocarette The Cocarette, which exists in several formats, forms a class of its own. The camera body is drawn from a single piece of light metal and offered the lightness and strength of the time. The film lies perfectly flat in the camera, avoiding image blur. The one-piece spool holder can be pulled completely out of the camera and facilitated film loading, ensuring smooth winding and unwinding during use. Furthermore, the camera offered a leatherette cover and a tilting standard that achieved a particularly smooth guiding of the front of the lens on the camera's barrel. The Cocarette enjoyed great popularity in 1920s. 00:00 Introduction 00:17 The birth of the Contessa AG 03:20 Technical details of the Cocarette 07:04 The flash and the cloud of smoke 09:20 Closing words More information about me and my cameras: https://www.filmklubspittal.com/blog/...
