The Belair X 6-12 Trailblazer is a special edition of the Belair X 6-12, introduced by Lomography in February 2013.
The design is very similar to the Jetsetter Edition. For example, some parts are made of metal. The front and back are covered with black leather. It is delivered with the two standard plastic lenses (90 mm, 58 mm).
Of course, the Trailblazer has the same features as the regular Belair. So it takes 120 film, offers the option between 3 formats and has a hot shoe and tripod mount.
