Traduction de Sylvain Halgand
Put aside the reflex models, the 500 was a little Rolls of Instamatic 126 Kodak. Its “look” does not let predict its age, because, indeed, it was manufactured from 1963 to 1966. It is equipped with an excellent lens Schneider Xenar f2,8 38 mm, with a Gossen coupled cell with the shutter and with a shutter Compur (1/30 to 1/500 seconds).
A must!
This camera was worth 495 francs in 1966.
