'A COLLECTOR'S LIFE FOR ME'

摘要

IN AP 6 August, I wrote about the Baby Box Tengor, a cute and stylish little box camera made in Germany in the early 1930s. This month's camera is another sleek model, also made in the 30s, but this time in Birmingham. As a camera, the Coronet Vogue is extremely basic, with no focusing, a simple meniscus lens and no choice of aperture or shutter speed. When folded, it fits easily in the palm of the hand, and I suspect it was bought more as a fashion accessory than for taking serious photographs.
