Description from the seller
Ihagee Ultrix 6x9 bellows camera (1923) – 120 format – Vario shutter
Description:
Here is a classic folding camera, the Ihagee Ultrix, 6x9 cm format, produced in Dresden, Germany, around 1923. This model represents an excellent example of Ihagee's pre-Exakta production, characterized by solid and compact construction.
The Ultrix is a roll film camera (120 format) highly appreciated for its portability and the build quality typical of the German manufacturer. The unit for sale features a Vario (Gauthier) central shutter, simple and reliable, with instant exposure times (25, 50, 100) plus B and T settings, and a good-quality anastigmatic lens, typical for this range of cameras from that era.
