About
The Bela Box is a box camera which can use either 120 or 620 film. The camera's maker is unknown, but it was probably made in Brazil, in the early 1950s (see the advertisement below).[2] The body of the camera is metal (apparently cast, but perhaps pressed metal), finished with black crackle-finish paint.[3] On the front, there is a stepped protruding section containing the lens and shutter; on the front of this there is a metal plate, printed with the name 'Bela Box' in vertical capital letters
