This is the second week of the London 2012 Olympics. In 1948 the London Olympics were centred on Wembley Stadium, this Bakelite camera from the early 1950s seemed like a good one to choose for this week.
It takes 6x9cm photos on 120 film, there are 3 shutter speeds and 3 apertures, zone focussing is achieved using the helical lens mount, which also allows the lens to retract into the body when not in use.
I've put a roll of Kodak Porta film in it.
