A Day Out in Nazaré with the Bencini Koroll 2
There are a few cameras in my collection of the weird and wonderful that I keep telling myself to use and never get around to doing so, and the Bencini Koroll 2 is definitely top of that list. The Koroll 2 is a heavyweight aluminium Italian camera from the 1960s. It’s an ugly, stocky beastie, really, and it certainly won’t win any prizes, but what sets it apart from other 120 cameras is that it’s…
Ho iniziato a scattare su pellicola con questa Bencini Koroll II ormai più di dieci anni fa. Una macchina fotografica prodotta in Italia dalla milanese Bencini CMF (Costruzioni Meccanico - Fotografiche) a partire dal 1962, questo invece è il terzo modello prodotto nel 1966. È una medio “mezzo” formato 3x4,5cm su pellicola 120 che permette di arrivare a scattare 24 fotografie. Costava 5.600 Lire. A questa macchina sono sentimentalmente legato perché apparteneva a mio nonno materno. È ancora conservato nella custodia il bigliettino con le annotazioni scritte da lui su come impostare tempo e diaframma in base alla luce.
Non ho scattato molti rulli con questa macchina, a giorni selezionerò e pubblicherò qualche foto.

Filling The Gaps: The Bencini Comet Rapid Half-frame Camera
Back in the early 1960s, in response to Kodak’s introduction of its instamatic film system, the European film and camera company Agfa launched the Rapid system. Actually, it’s more accurate to say that they reintroduced their 1940s Karat film system under a new name. Instead of a sealed plastic cassette, the Agfa Rapid system used metal canisters, which contained a length of 35mm film. Inside the…
