Description from the seller

For sale is this rare and legendary Durst Duca 35mm(!!!) camera in absolutely fantastic condition! I mainly collect quirky cameras from the 30s and 40s and this is one of the most interesting ones of them and in basically new-old-stock-like condition.

History
This Durst Duca is a fascinating piece of post-war Italian camera design from Durst, the company known for their enlargers. Introduced at the Milan Trade Fair in September 1946 with sales starting early 1947, production ran until around 1952, making it quite rare.Note the quirky, vertical ovoid shape that mimics a cine camera but shoots full-frame 24x36mm negatives in special Agfa Karat cassettes.

Usability
The camera has a fixed 1/30s shutter with B mode, both are working correctly. The lens can be focused with ease. The finder is small and not very bright but usable.

Completeness
The camera comes in its original paper box and even has the wrapping paper it came in! With it are two Agfa Karat cassettes.
