Balda BALDAXETTE (Lisette)

Charming and snappy....

This camera possesses all the charm of old Europe. Lovely features like the film advance window and the overall solidity of the camera say a lot about its quality. It is a bit clumsy to use because of the lack of shutter release.
You have to push the shutter lever on the front assembly with your finger or use a cable release. The shutter is a bit oversized for this camera. The vibration and the snap from the shutter cannot be ignored. I have loaded this camera with infrared film from Ilford, results not out yet...
