The Auto-Ultrix mit Plattenrückwand (catalogue Nr.3860) manufactured by Ihagee Kamerawerk, Steenbergen & Co. in Dresden was introduced in 1931. It shares many characteristics with most of the other camera's in the Ultrix series of self-unfolding roll film cameras. However, its unique selling point was the possibility to use either 120 film or 6.5x9 cm dry plates. The back of the camera with a red window could easily be replaced with the appropriate plate holder.
