Film tested!  The Bellami is a a compact 35mm camera from Chinon, introduced in 1980—perhaps as a response to the innovative Olympus XA. However rather than using a sliding lens cover, the Bellami has a distinctive "barn door" design (reminiscent of the Voigtländer Vitessa).


The barn door is opened by pulling out the film advance lever. Chinon also offered a dedicated S-120 flash unit, included here.


The Bellami has a 35mm f/2.8 lens and uses scale focusing (you cannot preview the focus, but instead set the lens to a number corresponding to distance).
