Bencini from Milan made a range of basic rollfilm and 35mm cameras. Their cameras were more about form than function and the Koroll 24S certainly looked the part. It had a fixed shutter speed of 1/50s, but a B setting could also be set by using a lever.

It had two apertures, f/9 and f/16. The shutter has only one blade, the f/16 aperture was a rectangular mask! It had a front-cell focussing lens of unknown make and produced 24 photos on 120 rollfilm in 4x6 portrait format. It had two spy windows as 120 rollfilm had no markings for 24 frames, thus the film needed to be wound till one would see the frame number in the left window, then in the right window for the next frame.

This was more commonly seen on 127 roll film cameras with 3x4 frames, like the Wirgin Gewirette and the Ising Pucky.
