Coronet · UK · 1935–1936 (1 years) · 135 film

The Coronet Midget Red was a basic, entry-level 35mm camera produced by the British company Coronet between 1935 and 1936. Designed as an affordable option for amateur photographers, particularly beginners or younger users, it utilized the newly popular 135 film cartridge. Its simple construction and minimal features focused on ease of use and low cost, likely employing basic metal or pressed materials. The camera was compact, as suggested by its name, but offered little in the way of sophisticated controls or optical quality, representing the utilitarian end of the early 35mm market.
