Chinon Bellami Folding Film Camera with Flash and Case

For sale: a retro and popular bellows-type film camera, the "CHINON Bellami."

The Chinon Bellami is a compact film camera equipped with a built-in light meter and a 35mm f/2.8 lens.

Originally a well-known manufacturer of 8mm movies, it takes excellent photos, likely due to its good lens.
