Isn't it coffee time ?
Found it on a garage sale some years ago, when i bought "some" cameras in a box.
It has a Prontor-s shutter, a Ucapan lens 1:2,5 f = 4 cm, UCA Flensburg
F stops : 2,5, 3,5 , 4,5 , 6,3 , 12, 5 and 18
Been doing some shots with it, negative format is probably 24x24mm.
The images is sharp if they not are destroyed by some light leakage or problems winding the film, if you are not exactly when you load it ,it would be messy since it doesn´t take 35mm film out of the package.
The only solution( as far as i can see) is to use a rechargeable film cartridge as a take up spool and always take out the film before the last frame, the more winding the more chaos . . (really nifty in other words . . )
But the camera has it charm as well
Just a camera a average RFF person can love ..
Any ideas or input ?, been googeling but didn´t find much last time I tried.
Thanks

No, you're the only one AFAIK. Very cute! Are you saying that it does not take regular 35mm film cassettes?

It does take 35mm cassettes, but you have to use a reloadable 35mm cartridge as a take up spool, and since the winding of the film aint exactly user-friendly it makes me think that it´s made for something just a bit different .. until i had a closer look at the camera the logic and the the design made me believe it was french, because then it would have made sense

Ucanetts were made in Germany if memory serves me.
