Bencini Koroll

From Camerapedia.org

The Koroll cameras were 120 film and 35mm viewfinder cameras made by Bencini in Milan, Italy in the 1950s. The body was based on a single aluminium alloy casting, which included the lens barrel. Each model seems to have gone through a number of facelifts, with minor cosmetic changes.
