Traduction de Sylvain Halgand.
Comet S uses a film 127 (3 X 4 cm), as it is indicated on the small chrome plate located above the camera.
It has a speed (1/50) and exposure B. Following the call launched here even and with the assistance of Jean-Marie Dithurbide, I know how to engage the exposure. Hardly visible on the photograph, there is in top of the lens, a small pull knob, plated on the edge of this one. According to whether it is drawn or not, release is done in snapshot or exposure.
Comet wear the name “Bencini” AND initial “the CMF”. On this Comet, the button winding is made of brass.
