Sunday, October 8. Back to the St.Louis Zoo, with another classic medium format folding camera. Camera was given to me by my friend Jim, who lives near Liverpool, England. He had the camera for about 50 years himself and used it extensively when he was stationed in Southeast Asia. It never needed servicing, and held up well.
It is from Houghton of London, circa 1953...
Ensign Autorange 16 - 20 (meaning that it will expose 16 images at 6 cm x 4.5 cm on a roll of 120 rollfilm).
Lens is 75mm Ross, London, f/3.5 in Epsilon T, B, 1 -> 400 shutter.
Coupled rangefinder.
Distance scale marked 5 feet to infinity.
The film I used was Fuji 160 NPC size 120, dated 2001 (kept fresh in my freezer).
