This camera Ensign Box E29 owes its existence to the need to reduce shooting a simplistic operation that the man in the street could see literally millions of these cameras and the like were fabricated and have taken many family photos. In common with most box cameras, the shutter is over type release center - that works in both directions, a feature common in cameras box essentially a partial disc with a hole sector in sweeping the objective. Unfortunately, Ensign E29 made use of the now defunct film rolls 129, making only six exhibitions. Only 120 are available today, and 127 are possible to find if you are prepared to look around. 129 is located between these two formats. One possible solution would be to adapt a roll 127 and mask the plane of the film with a rigid card, otherwise the natural curve of the film will tend to draw the ideal position as it moves through the opening. As for performance, the E29 shares a set of very basic rules, the same as most of these simple box cameras. Load any movie, wrap until a new frame in the door, make and release the shutter. In theory, the camera was optimized to take photographs tolerable on clear days to the open air, at least a portion of the image would be properly exposed and the rest would be classified in the printing phase. This has the added complexity of an accessory portrait, it is just another lens attached in front of the main objective of the camera, in the same way you or I might wear glasses. The aim is to bring focus to the camera so you can take pictures of"" head and shoulder"" . These cameras were available in black or in a variety of colors as in the case of this blue suit. All color cameras made, blue E29 appears quite frequently, and is far from being a rare camera.
