After clearing out a few of my old film cameras, I started to play with my 1955 Balda Baldina 35mm RF Cam. It's very nice and looks cool (kewl) and makes great images.
I searched for other Balda cams and now have a small but growing collection. Most of them work well enough to use with film (unreliable slow speeds not an issue).
After I had bought another four, I saw this 1951 Baldinette on the auction site for a low amount. It has a better shutter than most and the best of the three element lenses.
I didn't really want another folder (too many issues with my previous purchases) but this looked nice.
It arrived in fully working state and looks very clean. Of course, the slow speeds under 25th are laggy but all the higher speeds are snappy and look about right.
presently waiting to finish a film in a different cam to dev this test film at the same time.
Why buy one when you can have a set?
