Found in the cabinet of my mother, our old family camera: the Balda Baldinette for
35mm film. my father bought the Balda in the early 50s from Photo Koch in D�sseldorf, price was
around 120 Deutsche Mark.
the camera is fine and well with the Baltar 2.9/50mm lens.

from the old photo albums of my mother here a pic taken with the cam

surely you ask who�s the wonderful vigorous little boy - it�s me....

i think i give the camera a try and take it outside with some rolls of film.

I was in Germany in the 1950's in the British Army and we got 11.50 DMarks to one � 1 -00 Sterling so do the Maths for 120 D M !
( A NEW LEICA M3 was 820 DM in the camera shop in Iserlohn)
