Ducati Electronics - Photos

Before Ducati made motorcycles, even before they made clip on engines for bicycles, they made electronics. And just like the motorcycles they were special - beautifully designed, functional and of the highest quality. They exist today as functional works of art. This gallery is a tribute to Ducati Electronica, Italian design at it's finest. It is, and will continue to be a work in progress, as chances come up to add photos, we aquire new items or learn more and update descriptions.

Societa Scientifica Radio Breveti Ducati was founded in 1926 in Bologna, Italy. One of the items they eventually produced in the mid 1940's was this highly prized camera. This is a half frame 35mm microcamera, similar in look and feel to the full frame Leica that it is often compared to but without a doubt, this was by far the finer camera in it's day. One review I found on line said it was the difference between a VW Jetta and a Ferrari, and for this reason are very desirable to collectors of fine cameras, not just Ducatista.
