Coronet F20 Coro-Flash

I’ve managed to obtain another old box type Pseudo TLR camera at a reasonable price in a very good condition, well, at least the pictures seem to indicate this, I’ll just have to wait until it’s in my hands to know for sure.

Here is some history on this camera, I will cite the reference at the end:

1. Introduced in 1950
2. Pseudo TLR
3. One speed rotary shutter +B
4. Use both 620 and 120 roll films
5. Flash sync
6. Built-in green filter
7. Body: metal

Coronet Box Cameras are medium format 120 & 620 film cameras made by Coronet in England.

Coronet was a British camera maker based in Birmingham. The company was formed in 1926 by F.W.Pettifer. It manufactured a variety of cheap box and folding cameras until 1967. After the war it worked together with the French company Tiranty to avoid French import restrictions. Several Coronet camera models were made in France, some with Boyer lenses, and some with instruction imprints in French. Coronet also had their own brands of film, including Corochrome.

The F-20 Coro-Flash by Coronet is a simple camera for 6×6 cm exposures, but one which offers a few twists on the usual box camera.
First, its centered viewfinder window and (small) folding hood give it a certain faux-TLR styling.
Secondly, it was designed (and proudly labeled) to accept either 120 or 620 film sizes.
Finally, it offers flash sync, for example when using its namesake Coro Flash flashgun.

This camera was in such a good condition that no maintenance was required. In fact it went straight onto eBay and sold within 7 days. Was a lovey little camera and commanded a good resale price.
