Comet III

The Comet III is an elegantly designed 127 camera made by the Italian company, Bencini.  It was introduced in 1956, at the Milan Fair, and enjoyed a production run lasting until 1969.  The camera is relatively unique in its vertical design - exposures are 3x4cm and are oriented horizontally on the film, rather than vertically.  Beyond that, the camera is pretty basic in its operation, with a single shutter speed of 1/50th, plus a Bulb mode.  Some models of Comet IIIs allow adjustment of focus, while some are simply fixed focus.
