Coronet Folding Rollfilm Camera

Coronet · UK · 1926–1940 (14 years) · 135 film

The Coronet Folding Rollfilm Camera, produced between 1926 and 1940, is a representative example of the affordable, mass-market cameras popular in Britain during the interwar period and beyond. Utilizing the emerging 135 (35mm) roll film format despite its misleading "rollfilm" name, it likely offered a compact folding design aimed at amateur photographers seeking portability and economy. Constructed primarily from simpler materials like stamped metal and possibly Bakelite, it prioritized accessible pricing over advanced features or robust build quality, reflecting its position in the budget segment of the market.
