Porst Blitzpocket 400E

Porst Blitzpocket 400E

Bought it from Camden Market, around 1999, almost in pristine condition. Used only once, as at the time I was too deep into Minox photography 🙂 . An interesting camera; tbh, I do not remember anything about the results I got with it, sorry. I just tested it the other day, works like a charm. Speaking of quality, right?

Brief specs: lens is a Fixfocus 5.6 / 26 mm, focusing from 1.2m to infinity, film type 110 (13×17), electronic shutter. It has a CdS meter built-in, also a flash (guide no. 14). This camera came out in 1979-1980, if I remember correctly, manufactured by King Regula, Germany.

Two settings (5.6 and 11, accompanied by respective symbols) take care of the aperture. The viewfinder is very bright, with correcting parallax lines; the flash lamp has a test lamp on top plate. Its appearance is nice, with a very good plastic. A tripod bush is situated on the bottom plate.
