INTRODUCTIONThe Ferrania Eura is a medium format viewfinder camera made by Ferrania in Italy around 1959. BEST SUITED FOR:
PERSONAL NOTESThe Ferrania Eura feels like a Holga 120N, its very light, cute, and takes 12 square 6x6cm photos on a 120 film roll. It has only one shutter speed : 1/30s. Aperture is also limited to f8 and f12. There is a focus scale, so you can have a bit better image quality that other cameras using meniscus lenses. There is also a PC Sync connector if you want to doflash photography, which can be nice with flashbulbs indoors. It will definitely attract attention. The design is nicely done, the Ferrania Eura is a nice object to use and look at, The finder is way better than on a Holga 120N. CONCLUSIONIf you find one cheap, the Ferrania Eura can be a nice alternative to the Holga 120N. It's better and cuter. PHOTO SAMPLESVERDICT:
