The King Regula Picca CB is a viewfinder camera from the 70s. The camera manufacturer King KG from Bad Liebenzell in the Black Forest was responsible for the production.
The lens of the camera cannot be changed. The name of the lens is "Color-Isconar 40mm f/2.8". The focal length is 40 mm and the largest aperture of the lens is f/2.8.
The King Regula Picca CB has no autofocus. Therefore you have to focus by hand. There is no instrument for checking the setting.
For measuring the exposure, the King Regula Picca CB has an exposure meter. The light meter has been designed for films with a sensitivity of ISO 25 to ISO 400. Depending on the model, the function can no longer function correctly.
The camera comes with a Bulb setting option. The shutter can remain open for a variable time and expose the film. This function can only be used with the cable release.
An external flash can be fired using the built-in hot shoe. The King Regula Picca CB has a tripod thread.
The 35 mm camera does not need electricity to take pictures, as the selenium exposure meter works without electricity and the rest mechanically.
Films for the King Regula Picca CB
Without photo films, nothing works with the King Regula Picca CB. The camera needs 35mm films more precisely. 35mm films are still produced today and are quite easy to get. A 35mm film for color pictures is the Agfaphoto Vista 400*. A possible black and white film is the Kodak TRI-X 400*.
The color negative film is developed in the C-41 development process. This development process is offered by most laboratories.
