Coronet Outspan

The Coronet Outspan is a straightforward post-war bakelite camera introduced in 1950 for the popular 135 (35mm) film format. Targeted at the budget-conscious amateur market, it embodies the typical characteristics of its era: a simple viewfinder design with a fixed-focus lens, limited shutter speeds, and basic controls requiring minimal user adjustment. Its utilitarian construction prioritized affordability over refinement, making it an accessible entry point into 35mm snapshot photography for the average consumer during a period of recovery and rising casual camera ownership in the UK.
