Braun Paxette Electromatic

The Braun Paxette Electromatic is a straightforward 35mm viewfinder camera designed for simplicity and ease of use. With minimal user settings, it’s an excellent choice for beginners or collectors seeking a functional yet uncomplicated vintage camera.

Key Features:

• Film Loading: The film chamber opens by unscrewing a knurled nut on the base, allowing the bottom half of the camera to separate. A hinged pressure plate and support arm make loading film secure and straightforward.
• Shutter & Indicators: The camera offers a single shutter speed of 1/45 sec. A green indicator in the viewfinder signals proper exposure, while an included hot shoe supports flash photography for low-light conditions.
• Unique Film Advance Mechanism: The film advance lever requires two strokes to cock the shutter, and the shutter release pops up, ready for action.
