Bolsey Model C September 2011

The Bolsey C is an unusual little item from the early 1950's, made in America.
It incorporates a waist level reflex viewing system, a split image eye level rangefinder system, and an eye level viewfinder, all together in the same top housing.
Lens is a nice sharp Wollensak 44mm focal length.
Shutter runs from T, B, 1/200 to 1/10.

I loaded this one with a roll of CVS branded 35mm asa 200 print film and exposed it over the last two days.

Very nice selection, fascinating detail on some of the tombstones.

Nice work Ed. I can see how firing the shutter could interfere with the eye level viewfinder. The 44mm Wollansak is indeed sharp as well as being a nice slightly-wide lens.
