PERSONAL NOTES

The Bolsey is tiny, cute, and rudimentary, but fun to use. The film winding is smooth, but one can be puzzled if the film was winded at the proper place. Film spacing can be erratic sometimes. A part from that, the design is quite good, there is a special prong you have to press in order to access the shutter, this helps to not do multiple exposures. The rangefinder is surprisingly precise for this type of camera, the finder is just ok.

CONCLUSION

The bolsey B2 is quite fun, if you are a collector, it's definitely a camera you should look at. For shooting with, it's fun but still has limited abilities.
