What it is

The Ensign Comando is a British-made folding camera produced by Ensign (Houghton-Butcher / Barnet Ensign). It is a mid-20th-century roll-film folder positioned for amateur use when new.

Inspect the folding bellows for pinholes, check that the struts lock the front standard rigid and square, and confirm the shutter fires at all marked speeds without sticking on the slow end. Rangefinder and viewfinder optics commonly haze or de-silver with age, and service support is limited to independent specialists.
