Hi Peter, thank you for your reply. In the meantime I have identified the camera. It does not have any marque of producer indication and it is a simple 6x9 folder of the 30ties as many others are. It seems to be a "Rona" made by "Kamerafabrik Dresden" a rarely encounter German maker. If you google for "Rona" and "Velostigmat" you will find it on a polish web side. It is identical except the leathering and the shutter. In the meantime I have also taken the lens apart. The front element and the middle element including the focus thread unscrews as one part - quite nice. I had to take this element apart to clean the inner surfaces. The lens mounting is quite well made and the lens is the best preserved of that area I ever saw. I can not definitely say wether it is a 3-lens or a 4 lens design because 2 lenses of a 4-lens-Tessar design are cemented together. But I assume that it is a 4-lens design. Together with the well preserved and working Compur-Rapid it is a nice combination. The rest of the camera is nothing special but good enough to do some trial picts. The bellows seems to be light tight. |
