Technical Details
• Format: 6x6 cm on roll film 120
Objective: Novar Anastigmat 75mm f/3.5, not with the light-limited 4.5 lens!
• Shutter: with speeds from 1 second to 1/300 seconds and B and T.
Folding mechanism with bellows
Manual operation – ideal for slowed-down photography.

state
The camera is in good condition for its age. The folding mechanism works, the bellows are light-tight, the shutter functions, the optics are clear, only paint damage as seen in the photos. These could be painted, but that would impair the charm of 1937.
A collectible item — but still ready for use today by lovers of classic photography. Perfect for beginners in the world of analog medium format.
