AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Aesthetically and technically innovative viewfinder camera for the ORWO quick-loading cassette (for half-format recordings 18 x 24 mm), manufactured by VEB Welta-Kamera-Werke Freital/Dresden (GDR) from 1959. Lens: Meyer-Trioplan 1:3.5/30 mm, coated; manual focusing. Through-the-lens viewfinder. Mechanical central shutter (B, 1/30 to 1/125 second); film transport and shutter tension via 'slide bar' (top right); the installation of a rotating gear was thus completely avoided. The housing is gold-colored on the front and back ('Goldeloxalglanz'), with a differently colored painted frame on the narrow sides — here in blue.
Material: Metal
Size: 110 x 76 x 47
Weight: 230 grams

Very popular women's camera in the 1950s
