Balda Baldinette Video Manual

Balda's Baldinette was an entry-level folding camera meant to take snapshots of family events and vacations. That said, it can still return nice photos.

Wide open, the lens is soft. Wide open and at close range, the background develops swirling coma. Stopped down to f5.6, f8, or f11, and the lens is as sharp as modern lenses. Across the aperture range, each setting has a different character and lends itself to different images.
