Chronology of cameras Bencini
The Comet II replaces the original Comet without synchro and the Comet S. The general shape remains the same. The lens is now an 11/55 mm lens mounted on a retractable tube.
Similar to the Comet S, several variations will follow, all aimed at simplifying the manufacturing process.
