Ensign Midget 55
Built in the UK in 1935, this pocket-sized masterpiece wraps a 53 mm Ensar lens and a giant film gate into a a leather case that feels more like an elegant cigarette case than a technical tool.
What happens when 1930s glamour clashes with pure mechanical engineering? You get a camera that fits into the palm of your hand yet produces negatives larger than a standard 35mm frame.
