The first 35mm monoreflex to make history. It has an extensive line of optics produced by many different manufacturers. This copy of the collection is much more recent, from 1951. The general appearance is the same but it has several improvements.

All-metal for stereo photos in 45×107 format on glass plates. With a magazine that allows you to load 12 plates. Aperture and speed adjustment but with fixed focus.

It’s a good camera, even better than its contemporary the Rolleiflex. But the synonym and future of this category, of TLRs, would be the Rolleiflex.

Developed and manufactured at the German subsidiary in Stuttgart, in addition to being a very beautiful and well-built camera, it was with it that Kodak launched 135 film, which is 35mm film already in a cartridge and ready to be loaded into the camera even in the clear,

Predecessor of the famous Kine Exakta for 35mm film launched 3 years later. Examples in the collection are already from the B model, which added slow speeds and was launched a little later in 1935.

The beginning of a legend. One of the most cult cameras in the history of photography. Extremely reliable and precise, a delight to use.

Leica standardized the lens mount and thus began developing a line of very high quality lenses as a way of compensating for the small size of the 24x36mm negative.

The name already evokes that this was a derivative series in several colors. A 127 film folding lens with 3 aperture options and 3 speeds in addition to B and T.

A box camera with excellent construction and finish. It uses 120 film and takes photos in 6x9cm format. A very good size for contact prints for the family album.

Adjustable soft-focus version of the famous Heliar. By turning a ring, an internal element of the lens is displaced, thus introducing a variable amount of spherical aberration which gives the diffuse effect in the image.

Little-known lens. Probably from the last years of the very old Hermagis. It’s a large format double-gauss.
