Revision as of 17:40, 20 March 2012
The Bencini Comet cameras were 127 film made in Italy by CMF Bencini from 1948 into the 1950s. They were smaller versions of the Bencini Koroll range. Controls were limited to 1/50 instantaneous or B shutter and a focusing lens. The Comet III was an unusual vertical format camera.
There were various models:
| Model | Format | Introduced |
| Comet | 4x4cm | c.1948 |
| Comet II | 3x4cm | c.1951 |
| Comet S | 3x4 | c.1950 |
| Comet Rapid | ||
| Comet 3 (Fixed-focus) |
3x4cm | c.1953 |
| Comet III focusing |
3x4cm | c.1953 |
The Comet name was reused later for 126 cartridge cameras; see the 126 section of the Bencini page, and still later for 35mm cameras.
