Now is the time to make your five-year plan to advance the cause of proletarian photography. The Central Committee of Lomo have authorised the release of the Belaire X 6-12 to selected loyal party members...specifically the ones who have some money to spend. Camera Electronics have stocks of this.
The camera features provision for operation with 120 film and will deliver 6 x 6 pictures, 6 x 9 pictures, and 6 x 12 pictures. There are masks for these three formats as well as two view finders. Two lenses are included - a 90 mm and a 58mm.
A hot shoe has been provided on the top for flash shooting.
A light meter has ben incorporated for automatic exposure in the range 50-1600 ISO. You can shoot at Bulb exposure for long shots.
The camera folds conveniently into itself on a scissors movement.
Historical enthusiasts may wish to look at Plaubel Makina cameras of the 1920's and draw their own conclusions. New photographers will never have a better opportunity to experience the thrill of medium format film shooting than now - this Lomo is affordable and new.
It also has serious kewl value in student fraternities, though not as much as duelling scars...
