Description: Rare Balda Super Baldax Rangefinder 6x6 with Schneider Kreuznach Radionar 2.9/80mm Made in Germany in the 1950s. The camera is in used condition, and the body has normal sings of use and age. The leather comes off in seceral places on the body in several places, but can be easily glued back. Bellows without pin holes but has some sings of age as well . I can not see any separation, haze, fungus, or scratches on the glass lens. Focus is smooth and easy to use. Aperture is fully working and oil free. Rangefinder seems to be fully working, but sometimes it seems difficult to release the shutter. I am not super savy, and I may not be doing it right. It may need some maintenance. Selftimer unchecked. I have tested the camera without film. Sold as is. It does not have its original case. Please see photos for details and condition. Feel free to ask any questions you may have prior to purchase. The Baldax series consists of compact folding cameras. They come in 4.5 x 6 or 6 x 6 formats using 120 film. The new design of their struts makes it easier to open the flap. The series offers numerous combinations of lenses and shutters and was prolific during the 1930s. The war brought an end to its production, but with the revival of the brand in West Germany, models once again bore this name. During production, several modifications were made. There are two sizes for the body, with the possibility of a slightly larger version (model 0) to accommodate larger diameter shutters. The edges of the body on some models have a recess, while on others, the edge is straight. The viewfinder changed shape and position on the body multiple times. The post-war Baldax cameras are easily recognizable by their new, less angular hood, which incorporates the viewfinder, rangefinder, and an accessory shoe. It appears that only the 6 x 6 format survived for this series after the war.
