This particular version, made in England during the late 1940s and early 1950s, features a distinctive Art Deco-inspired \"streamlined\" metal body that sets it apart from traditional box cameras. The Full-Vue is celebrated for its exceptionally large, brilliant viewfinder, which gives photographers a bright, clear preview of their composition. Designed for simplicity and elegance, it captures large 6x6 images on 120 roll film, offering a unique bridge between historical box camera functionality and modern mid-century design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\"\u003eBrand: Ensign (Houghton-Butcher)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,1,0\"\u003eModel: Full-Vue (Post-war Metal Version)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,2,0\"\u003eLens: Ensign All-Distance Lens\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,3,0\"\u003eFilm Format: 120 Roll Film (6x6cm negatives)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,4,0\"\u003eViewfinder: Oversized \"Brilliant\" waist-level finder\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,5,0\"\u003eShutter: Simple instantaneous and Time (T) settings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,6,0\"\u003eFocus System: Two-position \"All-Distance\" focusing (3ft-10ft and 10ft-Infinity)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,7,0\"\u003eConstruction: Pressed steel body with a stylish crinkle finish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,8,0\"\u003eOrigin: Made in England\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\"\u003eBody: Used – Good condition.

While many box cameras from this era feel like simple tools, the Full-Vue feels like a piece of art. The standout feature is undoubtedly the viewfinder; it is incredibly bright and large, making it a joy to compose shots even compared to more expensive TLRs. It is the perfect camera for the 'Slow Photography' movement—it forces you to slow down, look through that beautiful finder, and capture a moment on 120 film with true British character.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003eEnsign Full-Vue Camera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003eBuilt-in Neck Strap Eyelets\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003eCamera Type: Large Viewfinder Box Camera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003eFilm Type: 120 Roll Film\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"\u003ePower: Fully mechanical (no batteries required)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\"\u003eAperture: Fixed (approx. f\/11)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ensign","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53685088682324,"sku":"A144W4217BG","price":39.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/2493\/3716\/files\/IMG_2159_a33972df-8421-4dc7-b242-1e7b39c8e2d6.jpg?v=1770388909","url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/nl\/products\/ensign-full-vue","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
