Altix was a series of sophisticated 35mm viewfinder cameras, made by Eho-Altissa and its successors in Dresden, Germany, from 1938 onwards.[1] Later models, starting with the Altissa V from 1954, have interchangeable lenses. The Altix mount is a breech-lock type mount, which was unique to these cameras, several lenses from high end makers such as Zeiss or Meyer-Optik were made.
The Altix-NB is the last model built by Altissa in 1958-59 before the merger of several small factories to the huge Kombinat VEB Pentacon.
