PERSONAL NOTES

Like other medium format folding cameras, the Wester Autorol is very compact for its film size. The use of a coupled rangefinder make this camera very handy.

As its name may indicate, there is a special mechanism to advance the film for the next shot, without having to look through a red window on the back.

The lens of of great quality, sharpness in much better than what I expected. Wester also made lenses for other japanese camera manucafturers, like this Semi Leotax.

CONCLUSION

The Wester Autorol is an excellent rangefinder folding camera which is a bit rare, but available for a good price.
