So I was able to shoot two more rolls with my new Belair this weekend. We got a good amount of snow over the weekend in Paris and it was a good opportunity to go out and take some images. However this Belair is driving me crazy. Out of 12 images (all 6x12) I got 3 good ones and both rolls were "fat rolls" so I have some images with heavy light leaks (3 of them were unusable). On top of it, i have these weired with dots in the center of some images and I have no idea why they are there. I had big expectations in the Belair but for the moment I am deeply dissapointed with the results and the camera. I bought it cause I want to shoot 6x12 b&w long exposure images here in Paris at night. When I noticed that there was no option to attach a shutter release cable, it made my project nearly impossible to realize. It has a screw to mount it on a tripod but unfortunately it is on the side of the camera and as the shutter butto is on the front element of the camera (why???????????) it is impossible to trigger the camera without causing camera shake or moving the front element down thus resulting on blurry image (as the front element and the film are not plane anymore). Yeah so it could have been a great camera, but our beloved Product Develpoment Team made some crucial mistakes. I am not sure yet if I will keep it or sell it.
