The Balda Baldinette


The Balda Baldinette is what is referred to as a "folder", logically enough, because it is a folding 35mm camera. It's surprisingly small, (about 4 3/4 inches by 3 1/4 inches) though not particularly lightweight. I think it's a very attractive camera - a mixture of older days and sophistication. I just received this one and haven't had an opportunity to test it yet. I have noticed that the shutter drags at 1/10th of a second and slower, but the bulb setting works fine. I don't anticipate using that slow of a shutter speed very often, so it shouldn't be a problem for me. I'll post photos taken with it on this page as soon as I produce some.
