Analogue Cameras Auction (1950-2000)

The Comet III was introduced in 1956. It produced, from 127 film, 3x4 negatives; Its distinctive design allowed the long side of the negative to be horizontal, without having to rotate the camera. The body is die-cast aluminum.
This example is in surprisingly pristine condition. Examining the case's condition and the absence of wear, even on the inside, I am inclined to believe it has perhaps been used only once.

La Comet III è stata presentata nel 1956. Produceva, da pellicola 127, negativi 3x4; Il suo design particolare permetteva di avere il lato lungo del negativo orizzontale, senza dovere ruotare la macchina. Il corpo è in alluminio pressofuso.
Questo esemplare è in condizioni sorprendentemente perfette. Esaminando le condizioni del fodero e l’assenza dl usura, anche all’interno, sono portato a ritenere che sia stata utilizzata forse una volta
