Chronology of cameras Boumsell
Traduction de Sylvain Halgand.
This camera if it had been American would have been called a “minicam” since it has the principal characteristics of them: format 127, bakelite, meniscus lens, only one speed plus the exposure. The form is a little more original with this air of TLR camera. The chrome cap hides frosted. The press-film has all qualities to be able to stripe films.
Longchamp appeared at the beginning of the 40s. The American mark Monarch Mfg Co manufactured cameras identical to the same moment.
There is a more elaborate version, it is called “Auteuil”.
