The UNA Traveller, a c1927 field camera featured in John Kantymir’s column.<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. This c1927 British field camera, ‘The UNA Traveller<\/a>‘ is well named. The robust yet light construction meant it was reliable world wide – from jungle to desert to arctic.<\/p>\n

In his column for the early 2010 issue of Photographic Canadiana, <\/em>John Kantymir\u00a0begins, “Long ago my father, Bill Kantymir, and I created a \u201cWish List<\/em>\u201d of cameras that were either historically significant or highly unusual \u2013 the Una camera is both.<\/p>\n

“It is made of Duralumin which was developed for the skeleton framing of the Zeppelin air-ship where light\u00a0weight was a must. The camera was perfect for the tropics or anywhere \u2013 hence the name Traveller.<\/p>\n

“I purchased it overseas and believe it to be from the collection of Michael Auer. Its image can be seen in\u00a0his book.”<\/p>\n
