The Ducati Sogno ("dream") was a half-frame 35 mm rangefinder camera made by Ducati in the 1950s[2][3] at its Milan factory.[4] The Sogno has been called a "miniature Leica" referring to its size and build quality;[4] it is considerably smaller than a Leica III.[5]
The Sogno is unusual for having its controls, including the shutter release, operated by the left hand.[5] It produces an 18 mm x 24 mm image on standard 35 mm film loaded in a special cassette provided with the camera.[1][3]
