This special edition was released in 1990 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of W. H. Fox Talbot’s Calotype process.
Unlike other special editions, this camera had no cosmetic differences—except for a gold plaque on the left side of the body. The serial numbers aligned with the edition number (running from 7308 001 through to 7308 150). An edition number “xxx/150″ was shown next to the serial number. There are also reports of the cameras having UV security marking which only shows up in ultra-violet light.
The cameras were sold for £2,750 + VAT in the UK, in a kit which consisted of:
- ETRSi camera body
- Zenzanon MC 50mm f2.8 lens
- Zenzanon EII 75mm f2.8 lens
- Zenzanon MC 150mm f3.5 lens
- 2 x Filmback-Ei 120
- Waist-level Finder-E
- AE-II Finder-E
- Motor Winder-Ei
- Flash, connector and cables
- Handmade Billingham hardcase
