	PHOTO-HALL (Paris, France)
PERFECT STEREO N° 5	Année / year c.1909 I assume this is the n°5 Perfect Stereo model ; I found it in the 1909 Photo-Hall catalogue with only a slight difference concerning the Newton viewfinder. Rigid jumelle style camera for 6 x 13 cm plates in single metal holders (magazine back for 12 plates was also available). Body is wooden made with leather covering, the lensboard is made of varnished wood and aluminium. This model can be used for Panoramic exposures : just set one lens in center position by sliding the lensboard (the inner septum collapses automatically). Rectilinear lenses Max Balbreck, Paris, simple guillotine shutter (I and B setting). Variable speeds settings 1 to 5 . Waterhouse style Rotating Stops on lenses. On each side of the body you can see the rack focusing knobs (focusing from 2 m to infinity). Two level spirits on top and on side, 2 tripod sockets. Comes in a case marked Photo-Hall with 6 nickeled plate-holders.
PERFECT STEREO N° 1	Année / year c.1909 Serial 760 Metal bodied stereo camera for 45 x 107 mm plates. Present under that model name in the Photo-Hall catalogues from 1906 untill 1912 with slight variations. Later Perfect Stereo n°1 models have a significantly different lensboard. I found recently an identical camera engraved "La Gamine" instead of "Photo Hall" on front. Achromat lenses. Guillotine shutter with I and P setting (3 variable speeds1/10, 1/30, 1/50). 4 aperture settings. Shutter release on top of camera, cocking lever on lensboard. Tripod socket on bottom. Folding Newton finder on top. Most of these models are covered with leatherette ; this one is black crackle finish enamel.
	POLAROID (USA)

Miniportrait Model 40	Année / year 1970's SN 77348 Professional camera made by Cambo (Netherlands). Four lenses Cambonar f8/125mm take four pictures on one polaroid sheet (for passport,...). Uses same filmpacks than the 195 model. The 4 shutters can be activated one by one, so it can be used for creative photography and 3D pictures).

	PENTAX (ASAHI KOGAKU, Tokyo, Japan)
PENTAX AUTO 110	Année / year 1979 SN 1133800 The Pentax 110 is the smallest interchangeable lens SLR with TTL metering ever made. It is styled like a very small 35 SLR (56x99x45mm). Remark : All Auto 110s have two small panhead machine screws on their backside (one on each side of the viewfinder). During the 1st year or so these screws had a slotted head and thereafter the screw heads were of the Phillips type (matching the 3 top & 4 bottom body screws). The camera shown here is the least common Auto 110 (Black Asahi Panhead). There aren't many of these around. Uses 110 film cartridges (110 film is a 16mm film but with a single and different perforation pattern). Takes 13x17mm pictures. It offers : - true SLR focusing : central split image focusing spot surrounded by mate field, - true SLR viewing : eye level pentaprism finder with quick-return mirror, - programmed exposure : TTL metering at full aperture via SPD cell, - a choice of six different lenses, two different flashes, and a "motor-drive". Pentax supported them with an entire system of accessories. Shown on the pictures are two cameras and some accessories : - L39 filter (UV), - lens cap, - Standard lens f2.8/24mm equivalent to a 50mm in 35mm format(25.5mm thread) - Wide angle lens f2.8/18mm with matching hood equivalent to a 35mm in 35mm format (30.5mm thread), - Tele lens f2.8/50mm equivalent to a 100mm in 35mm format(37.5mm thread), - flash unit AF130P (flash sync at 1/30 sec - f2.8), - winder I sn456927 (needs 2 AA batteries) Shutter (behind the lens shutter) speeds vary from 1 second to 1/750. Apertures run from f2.8 to f13.5 on all lenses (aperture system is inside the camera body). Fully automatic exposure system : both aperture and shutter speed settings are programmed by the camera according to the lighting situation. You'll see a LED in the lower right-hand corner of the viewfinder to provide exposure information : green means that the picture can be taken hand-held, yellow means use a flash or a tripod as the shutter will be 1/30 or slower. Needs 2 G13 batteries. SN 1429655 Année – Year 1979-83 This is the most common model of the Auto 110 with the two screws by the viewfinder being of the Phillips type (called Black Asahi Phillips).
