Ensign Ful-Vue.


Because I was desperate for a camera of my own, Xmas 1947 saw me become the
owner of the above 120 roll film Ensign Ful-Vue - so-called because the advantage it had over the ubiquitous Kodak Box Brownie was a viewfinder of much larger dimensions.
Unhappily, I found the camera a great disappointment and went back to the family Brownie.
The above picture is the only print I still have taken by the Ensign. Oddly it depicts the present I turned down for the camera but I received it for Xmas 1948. The last time I rode it was in
1964.

Obsolete Film...






Myself upon the outer head of Worm's Head, Rhosili, Gower, Wales.












On the left a view of Mumbles from Clyne Common, Swansea and above a school friend before we set out to cross to the tip of the Worm.


The arrow indicates the house where I was born, Rhianfa Hospital, Swansea,
taken from my back bedroom window at 6 Rosehill Terrace.
These shots were taken on a Coronet camera using 828 roll film which was
an unperforated 35mm film spooled with a paper back.
1953.
