Lot Essay

'In the new Roll-Film Vesta camera, Messrs Adams have succeeded in establishing a strong claim for the smallest and lightest 3½ x 2½ camera with de-luxe equipment yet designed. The method of construction is the same as that of the plate-model Vesta de luxe: a folding baseboard with slotted struts and a sliding lens front held perfectly rigid and vertical by lazytongs arms'. The camera featured the automatic parallax correcting Adams Identoscope viewfinder and although designed for rollfilm it could also be used for dark slides and film packs.
