Ducati Sogno fényképezőgép

The size of a pack of playing cards the Ducati cameras are half frame (18x24mm) cameras using special cassettes, very heavy for their size and often referred to as a miniature Leica complete with twist and pop out lens.

Leica never made a production small bodied half frame interchangeable rangefinder. If they had, it may have looked a lot like the wonderful rare Ducati of Bologna Italy whose production spanned W.W.II. Yep, you guessed it, these are same folks who later made quite a name for themselves in motor bikes.

The Ducati Sogno turns out to be another of those designs that seem to be just a little different from everything else out there. In order to pack all those features into such a small space, they had to take a different aproach from the Leica that it looks so much like from the outside.
