The Belair X 6-12 is a new 120 film camera that gives users the ability to switch between normal automatic shutter speed and long exposure. The camera can also shoot pictures in three formats – regular 6x9, square 6x6 or panoramic 6x12.
The new model is an interchangeable lens system that allows the attachment of a 90mm standard lens or a 58mm wide-angle lens. Lomography is said to be developing more lenses for the Belair X 6-12 in a bid to create an entire medium-format platform.
The camera is available in three models: the City Slicker Edition for £249; the Jetsetter Edition for £299; and the Globetrotter Edition for £244.
The Belair X 6-12 will be available in December.

As a venture, I have a sneaking suspicion this is about 20 years too late.
Would you put money into this business model?
Face. Flat. Fall?
I checked out the website, curious, but there does not appear to be a shutter release on the body, which means trouble.
A video demomstrating how to use it?
Classes perhaps.
Remember you can buy a Bronica or Pentax 645 for the same amount of money, so, as the guy said,who will buy?
