Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | 126-format camera made by Canon for Bell&Howell. Patented focus-matic rangefinder, motorized film-advance, 40mm f/2.8 4-element lens, shutter 1/30th to 1/800th. Focus-Matic uses your body as part of a triangulation rangefinder. You aim at your subject's feet and press the focus lever. A ball bearing then rolls in a track to measure the angle. When you release the lever, the lens will lock into a focus position based on the ball bearing position with one of 7 distances distance chosen based on your height and the angle to the subject ground location. Of course it doesn't know if you are 6ft 6in or 4ft 2in tall so it's not perfect but probably better than most people can estimate. If you just hold the camera level, you get infinity. (Sorry for the mediocre quality but it only seemed appropriate to use another gimmicky far-east made camera with the Bell and Howell name: a Bell+Howell S7 Slim digital with "night vision"). Everything works, I just need to spool some more film into a 126 cart. |
