Best British Cameras of the 1950s

John Wade looks at the British camera industry from the end of WW2 through the 1950's, up until import restrictions were lifted and a new wave of better, cheaper cameras arrived from Japan. In this video John shows us some of the key British cameras from the 1950s whose names are now largely forgotten.
