I don’t know if this is the place to post, if not Mods please move it. But at least there is a connection to a beautiful and rare Speedy.

Is it just me, or are a lot of uploaded images not loading properly of late?

Just wanted to add some interesting photos of Soviet-Russian ASTP commander Alexei Leonov using a camera during the ASTP visit to the United States before meeting President Gerald Ford at the White House in Washington D.C.
Leonov was a keen photographer... Any ideas what the make was of this ( Russian ? ) camera 👎 ?
Note Leonov's Omega Flightmaster pilot watch, a version the Russians often wore during training activities...

Edit: might be a BOLEX Paillard 16 mm film camera

Definitely a Bolex Paillard clockwork cine camera made in Switzerland, most likely 16mm but they also came like this in 8mm.
