Ensign Barnet Ful-Vue - Camera

Manual focus 120-roll 6x6 medium format camera made in England by Barnet Ensign introduced in 1946. This was the second version of the camera. The first version was a traditional box-style camera. This version redesigned the body to a smaller size. It has two focus settings; the lens extends for close focus. The most characteristic feature of the camera is the big and bright brilliant waist-level viewfinder. It uses Hasselblad-styled strap lugs. This camera is known to have some issues with film tension. This can be fixed by slightly bending the metal pieces that hold the film.
