Chronology of cameras Bencini
The Comet S were released in 1950, and were manufactured for several years. They stand out from the Comet, by adding a synchro socket for flash and an accessory shoe. Like their predecessor, these are low-end cameras, made from die-cast aluminum. The performances are poor, but their cost being low, they easily find their customers in post-war Italy. All-metal fabrication gives buyers confidence.
These 3 x 4 cm have undergone minor modifications during their career. These are essentially aesthetic, with the exception of modifications affecting the first models, the foundry mold of which does not include the accessory label. These models also have a double inscription of the mark: on a plate fixed on the top housing, and on the front. The film advance button has two rows of stripes. A black bezel surrounds the base of the rotating part of the lens.
The evolving models will lose the marking on the front face, replaced by a series of ridges improving the grip, as well as the strap attachments, and the black hubcap on the lens. There is a clear search for simplification of manufacture. The most recent models incorporate plastic.

This version is characterized by the absence of attachment allowing the camera to be carried over the shoulder. To do this, you must now use the TP bag that was sold by Bencini.
