Belair medium format

[Peter McCullough]

Just found this by chance, the Belair medium format camera, takes either 6x6, 6x9 or 6x12 format using 120 roll film, seems to sell new for around £199, comes with two lenses and uses two batteries, here's a link below;

I may give it a go, interesting ok.

I'd struggle to buy a new camera from lomo myself ... To much cash for what you get!

I was wondering if anyone had one of those when it came out ages back when I was looking at panoramic film cameras, I think its the only 6x12 with auto exposure out there. The other option is to simply use the 'sweep panorama' settings found in some cameras (like the NEX3 I currently have). I was also looking at the widelux and an FT2, couldn't really afford the crazy prices of some cameras in the topic I started below lol:

I considered getting one when it first came out but I quickly settled into the same thought that Hamish expressed above.

I was very tempted to get one of these about a month ago, it was going for £100 I think. I was thinking of getting a 35mm back for it, so could take 3-frame shots, very panoramic. Plus you get the sprocket holes.

fairly indicative of the general consensus with regards to actual value of lomo cameras

Its scary how a new lomo camera is more expensive than a Nikon FM2n
