About

The Fama II is a viewfinder camera for 35mm film, made in about 1950 by Cornu of Paris. The camera has a cast-aluminium body, with a 39mm lens-mount. The body does not contain a shutter: it uses lenses mounted in a shutter.[1] The standard lens is a 50mm f/2.8 Berthiot Flor, in a shutter also named Fama on its face-plate, offering speeds 1 - 1/300 second, plus 'B'.[1] Notes at Collection Appareils suggest the shutter is Cornu's own Coronto.[2]
