The Bolsey Model B is a 35mm rangefinder introduced by Bolsey in 1947. The Model B is essentially the rangefinder variant of the Bolsey Model A...
The centerpiece of the Bolsey Model B is its Wollensak 44mm F/3.2 lens. Shutter speeds are controlled via a sliding tab above the lens’ front element and a similar sliding tab at the bottom dictates the aperture. Focusing the lens is done by sliding the round button between the two and four o’clock positions on the lens barrel. the shutter lever is located at the 11 o’clock position and a threaded socket for a cable release is at nine.
A film advance knob with a manual frame counter at its base can be found on the camera’s top plate along the film rewind knob and a red “Bolsey” badge (usually the first thing to fall off of their cameras). To load film, the Model B’s back detaches from the rest of the camera and is locked in place via the latch at the bottom of the camera next to the tripod socket. There are two circular viewfinder windows on the back of the camera: the one on the left is attached to an optical viewfinder while the other is exclusively for the split-image rangefinder.
