Structure and design

Rigid body with an extendable bellows connecting the camera body to the lens.

Book closure or flap closure, typical of foldable cameras.

Leather or faux leather finishes to improve grip and protect the structure.

Presence of bezels, levers, and engraved scales for manual adjustments.

Optics and control

Equipped with high-quality features for its time, often with central shutters.

Manual focus, adjusted by extending the bellows or using a graduated slide.

Aperture and exposure times are fully manual, with no automation.
