Beirette was a name applied to a long sequence of compact cameras of 35 mm, manufactured from 1958 to the 80s in East Germany by Beier. There were also some folding Beirettes, made from 1939, but production apparently disappeared during the Second World War. Although the name remained the same, several adjustments were made in the design. Synchronization of the flash, for example, moved from a peg of the barrel of the lens to a shoe for standard accessories, and a trigger button plastic replaced the original metal button in the mid-1970s Several versions of this camera were sold by Boots, Boots Beirette such as BL, or the Revue brand for export markets.
