Description from the seller
La Contessa-Nettel is a fully mechanical camera, built with high-quality materials for its time: metal, wood, and leather, with a folding bellows that significantly reduced its size when not in use. Its appearance is elegant and understated, with a strong technical and artisanal character.
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.
